Publisher Description

This study explores the history of Irish convict transportation to New South Wales which began with the "Queen" in April 1791. It traces earlier attempts to revive the trans-Atlantic convict trade and the frustrated efforts by Irish authorities to join in the Botany Bay scheme after 1786. The nine Irish shipments to North America and the West Indies are described in detail, including the dramatic outcomes in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and the Leeward Islands which eventually forced the Home Office to find space for Irish convicts on the Third Fleet. These events are related against the background of Dublin's burgeoning crime rate in the 1780s, the critical insecurity of its prison system and the troubled political relationship between Ireland and Britain.

Review

'...this is a most valuable and welcome addition to published information on the background to colonial Australia, on the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 and on the introduction of Irish immigrants in 1791. It deserves a place in the library of anyone with an interest in Irish history, Australian history or North American history.' - David Nutley, Sydney, Australia, The Northern Mariner '...this book is extremely useful for the information it provides on Irish society, particularly on criminal behaviour...' - Albert A. Hayden, The Historian
