| Publisher Description: In 1787 a state-sponsored convoy of 11 ships embarked on an interminable voyage to where no Europeans had ever settled before - the east-coast of Australia. The flotilla carried a human cargo of 750 convicts banished from Georgian England's overflowing prisons. In Transported Brian Adams vividly re-creates the daily dramas of this hazardous mission, based on first-hand accounts in surviving journals, diaries and letters. These First Fleet colonists were destined to leave their pioneering footprint on what would become a great modern nation - Australia. |
