PASSAGEThe ‘First Fleet’ was a group of eleven ships that carried between 1000 and 1500 people from Portsmouth, England to Botany Bay, Australia in 1788. The goal of the fleet was to found a penal colony that would become the first English settlement in Australia. The First Fleet left Portsmouth on the 13th of May, 1787 and arrived in Botany Bay over the period of the 18th to the 20th of January, 1788. The voyage took between 250 to 252 days from departure to arrival, with stops in the Canary Islands, Brazil and South Africa. The chief surgeon of the First Fleet, John White, reported 48 deaths and 28 births over the course of the voyage. Initially, it was believed that the passengers on the First Fleet were mostly English, but historians have recently uncovered increasing numbers of African, Asian and indigenous passengers on the fleet. These passengers are believed to be a combination of slaves, sailors and free men from North America, China, India, South Africa, Madagascar and Mauritius. Peter Marsh, the President of the “Descendants of the First Fleeters” claims that there are over a million descendants of the First Fleet in Australia today. However, many people are unaware of their ancestry. The historian, Janet Brooks, claims that those descended from African and Asian passengers are especially unlikely to know their ancestry, as their details are more likely to have been “left out or buried” in the official documents. QUESTIONAustralia Day, the 26th of January, commemorates the anniversary of the First Fleet’s arrival in Botany Bay. True |
