IRLANDESES DEPORTADOS PARA A AUSTRÁLIA

The story of Irish Prisoners on The John Calvin Convict Ship in 1848.
Children as young as 12 years old were among the Irish female convicts who had been sentenced to 7 years transportation and imprisonment to Australia . This is the story of some of those Irish women and children. It follows them from their conviction to where they wait to board the convict ship.
I explain what happened to them when they arrived in Australia as convicts. How they were treated and their eventual release. I have traced some of these women’s’ descendants and have family trees dating right up to the present day.
This is the story of one convict ship and its cargo of Irish women and children sent to prisons in Australia.
