26 янв 1788 г. - Sydney Established

Описание:

Before the American Revolution, both the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland had sent prisoners and convicts over to the New World, but now with the loss of America, Britain had to find a new land to send their undesirables. As it happens, they had just claimed the entire east coast of Australia and named it New South Wales, so in the summer of 1787, a fleet of eleven ships were sent to establish a brand new penal colony.

Although the majority of the people aboard this First Fleet were convicts, many of them were skilled tradesmen or framers that had just been convicted of petty crimes. Britain at this point, although having an overcrowded prison system, did actually want to begin colonizing Australia properly. Because of this, many of the criminals sent over were pardoned before or within seven years of them leaving England as the British viewed the journey as well as the building of the new colony as punishment itself.

Eventually all 1,530 people arrived at Sydney Cove in New South Wales and established the first European settlement in Australia on 26th January 1788.
