In 1787 a convoy of eleven ships, carrying about 1500 people, set out from England for Botany Bay. According to the conventional account, it was a shambolic affair: under - prepared, poorly equipped and ill - disciplined. Robert Hughes condemned the organisers' ''muddle and lack of foresight'', while Manning Clark described scenes of ''indescribable misery and confusion''. In The First Fleet: The Real Story, Alan Frost draws on previously forgotten records to debunk these persistent myths. He shows that the voyage was in fact meticulously planned - reflecting its importance to the British government's secret ambitions for imperial expansion. He examines the ships and supplies, passengers and behind - the - scenes discussions. In the process, he reveals the hopes and schemes of those who planned the voyage, and the experiences of those who made it.

A biography of unprecedented expedition under sail The role of the sailor through history should never be underestimated. Over centuries battles were won and new lands discovered and settled by their skills and nerve. Rob Mundle is back on the ocean to tell one of the great stories of an expedition under sail: the extraordinary eight-month, 17-000-nautical mile voyage of the First Fleet. With customary sweep and swell, Mundle puts you alongside 48-year-old Captain Arthur Phillip on the quarterdeck of the Royal Navy escort, HMS Sirius, as he commands his small armada of 11 ships, carrying over 1420 men, women and children, to the other side of the world.

By Sea & Stars is the enthralling story of the epic voyage that led to the founding of our nation, told from the perspective of those who took part in it - willingly or unwillingly. This is no dry history of simple dates and names, but a spellbinding encounter with real people - from terrified twelve-year-old convict and former chimneysweep John Hudson to Captain-General Arthur Phillip, the brightest star of the British Navy. Here are their stories, of death, duty, lust, glory, violence, escape and mutiny - and a great southern land.

"On 13 May 1787 more than 1,500 people sailed with the eleven ships of the First Fleet to become the founders of the modern nation of Australia. After 20 years of research Mollie Gillen has produced the most comprehensive study to date of the people of the First Fleet. Based largely on original sources in Britain and Australia, it functions both ad a detailed historical reference work with much new information and also as a very readable social history. Every person who sailed with the First Fleet or was born on board has been included whether a child, convict, sailor, marine or officer. The result is a fascinating series of pen-pictures in a total of 1,442 biographical entries. The background of each first Fleeter is examined (including the circumstances of the crime and trial of each convict) as well as their lives after 1788 as they spread throguh New South Wales, Norfolk Island, Van Diemen's land and in some cases, returned to England ... The book includes extensive explanatory notes, is fully indexed with a number of maps, illustrations, and the facsimile signatures and marks of hundreds of First Fleeters. Twelve appendices include abstracts of biographical information, descriptions of the First Fleet ships and their crews, a chronology of the First Fleet, miscellaneous facts of interest, statistics and the "Phantom Fleeters": persons inaccurately claimed in earlier publications to be First Fleeters ..."--Inside front cover.
