Publisher's Synopsis

If you had to sail to Australia in the early 19th century there were worse ways to travel than being transported as a convict. Your living conditions were better than those of the sailors who manned your ship. Discipline was harsher for the troops who guarded you. Disease and mutiny apart, for most of the period it was safe.
