Diversity in the First Fleet

 

from THE FIRST FLEET Part 2 by Peter Christian :

 

"There were 235 Non English First Fleeters

 

There were, for instance, 141 persons known to have been born in Ireland, or whose surnames suggested they may have been Irish or of Irish Extraction - mostly convicts convicted in England for petty crimes. It is interesting that the Irish Rebels arrived at a later date.

 

In addition there were 2 from the Channel Islands, and 33 Scottish- although no First Fleet Convict was convicted in Scotland and, of these, only one Scottish convict, John Ramsay, the rest being marines and seamen. The Scots certainly looked after their own!!!!

 

The Welsh weren't left out – 9 in number including four convicts.

 

Also there were at least 12  Black Africans, Americans or West Indians plus 14 North Americans, and 15 Other Nationalities ,comprising convicts from Madagascar, West Indies, Holland, France, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Jamaica, Sweden, Bengal India,  and Scandinavia ....

 

Some of us in the Fellowship of First Fleeters have this blood in our veins...."
