About This Item
"On 13 May 1787, the British Empire sent 11 ships boarded with convicts and naval personnel to New South Wales, Australia. They became known as the 'First Fleet' and, arriving in January 1788, they established a penal colony, the first European settlement, on the continent.
First published in 1789, this is an account of the Fleet's voyage, settlement and interaction with the Aboriginal Australians, as recorded by Captain Arthur Phillip. Phillip led the fleet as 'Captain General & Commander in Chief, in & over the Territory of New South Wales'." British Library
