Sobre este artículo
Ringwood; Viking O'Neil; 1988.. First Edition; Demy 4to; pp. xiv, 353; map endpapers, numerous b/w illustrations, appendices, acknowledgements, bibliography, index, bound in original mustard cloth, title lettered in gilt on spine, dustjacket with minor chipping on edges, very good copy. The book traces the lives and experiences of the specially selected 308 convicts transported in H.M.S. Calcutta on arriving in Port Phillip in 1803. Several unforeseen circumstances caused the convicts to be moved to the Derwent where they began the settlement which became Hobart. The fates of these convicts were fascinatingly diverse. Some, when free, returned to their homeland, while others settled in Sydney or took to the high seas as traders, sealers or pirates. Others became bushrangers, secondary offenders or succumbed to the grog and lost their land grants. But most prospered and many became more successful than the free settlers they had been sent to serve.
