The youngest
transported with the First Fleet was thirteen year old chimney sweep John Hudson sentenced at the
Old Bailey on the 10th of December 1783, (when he was nine years old), to seven years transportation for
larceny - theft of apparel worth seventeen shillings and a pistol valued at five shillings, he was initially held in London’s Newgate Prison.
At the end of March 1784 he was transferred to the transport Mercury destined for America, but following a mutiny on board he was moved to a jail in Exeter. At the end of June, now aged ten, he was sent to the Plymouth based prison hulk Dunkirk.
On the 5th of March 1787 John was one of eighty male
prisoners transferred to the 276 ton convict transport Friendship
which sailed with the First Fleet to Australia on the 13th of May 1787, the outcome of the American War of Independence having
put an end to America as the destination for the “wretched inmates flushed from the overcrowded jails of England”.
Twenty-six months after later, the First Fleet Fellowship archive records : “John departed Port Jackson on the 4th of March 1790 for Norfolk Island aboard HMS Sirius.”
At the end of March 1784 he was transferred to the transport Mercury destined for America, but following a mutiny on board he was moved to a jail in Exeter. At the end of June, now aged ten, he was sent to the Plymouth based prison hulk Dunkirk.

Twenty-six months after later, the First Fleet Fellowship archive records : “John departed Port Jackson on the 4th of March 1790 for Norfolk Island aboard HMS Sirius.”
(Fifteen days later Sirius was wrecked while landing supplies at Norfolk Island.)
Colonisation
of Norfolk Island, 1,136 nautical miles due east of Australia’s east coast, began in March 1788, its fourteen square miles soon earning the sobriquet, “Hell in Paradise.” Convict life must indeed have been tough and
restrictive for the Fellowship concludes, “one year later, on the 15th
of February 1791 (John not yet
sixteen) received 50 lashes for being out of his hut after nine o’clock.”
The eldest transported was 75 year old Elizabeth Beckford, described as a servant, sentenced at the Old Bailey on the 10th of January 1787 to seven years for Larceny - stealing a 12-lb. Gloucester cheese - value four shillings; she died of dropsy sixty days into the voyage on the 12th of July 1787 on-board Lady Penrhyn.
Brother and sister, twenty year old George and 15 year old Elizabeth Youngson, a laundress, were sentenced at Lancaster on the 26th of March 1787 to death for burglary after admitting forcibly entering a silk warehouse in the town at 3am. on the 15th of September 1786 and stealing “41 shillings in silver and six shillings and nine-pence in copper.”
Three weeks
later their sentence was reduced to transportation for life.
They arrived in
Australia on-board the Prince of Wales and were sent to Norfolk Island.
On the 6th
of May 1798 Elizabeth, now 26 years old, married a fellow convict,
33 year old
Abraham Lee at St. Phillip’s Anglican Church, Sydney,
a wattle and daub
construction built in 1793.
Aged twenty-five, Lee, was one of 218 male convicts - out of 254 who boarded in England - who finally arrived in Australia with the Second Fleet* on the 26th of June 1790 on-board the 394 ton, armed, three deck converted merchantman Surprize, described as a “wet ship … an unsuitable vessel for so long a voyage … the convicts (being) considerably above their waists in water”, according to the commander of the guards. Elizabeth Lee, (née Youngson), died in Sydney in July 1854 at the age of eighty-two.
Between the
First Fleet of 1788 and the arrival of the last in January 1868, some 164,000 men,
women and children had been transported to Australia.
* The Second Fleet
was a Government charter from London based Camden, Calvert & King who “contracted
to transport, clothe and feed the convicts for a flat fee of
17 pounds 7
shillings and 6 pence per head, whether they landed alive or not.”
NOTE: £17:7:6d. in 1778 is equivalent to approx. £3,000 in 2022*
* United Kingdom Inflation Calculator - £100 in 1776 = £17,819 in 2022
* United Kingdom Inflation Calculator - £100 in 1776 = £17,819 in 2022
Camden, Calvert
& King were involved in whaling and ran merchant vessels to the East and
West Indies. Until it was abolished in 1807
they were the largest company in
London involved in the slave trade,
this know-how they put to use
transporting English convicts first to America and later, following conclusion of the American Revolutionary War against British rule 1775,
to the opening of penal colonies in Australasia.

THE BUILDING OF SYDNEY
First Fleet
convicts possessed many skills. One of note, and essential to the establishment
of the new Colony, was brick layer James Bloodsworth (1759-1804),
convicted of a “felony” in April 1785 in London. Bloodsworth was born on
the 7th of May 1759 at Kingston-upon-Thames and
arrived in Australia on-board the transport, Charlotte.
There being no builders or architects in the fleet, twenty-eight year old James was appointed “Superintendent of Builders in the Employ of the Government” with a government salary of £50.
As such he was responsible for the design and erection of many of the first buildings in Sydney, including Government House, Sydney’s King’s Wharf and many private houses. He lived in South Street with eighteen year old Sarah Bellamy, a weaver, convicted at Worcester on the 9th of July 1785 (when she was fifteen) to seven years transportation for “larceny” - the theft of a purse and money from her employer, Benjamin Hadon. She boarded the transport, Lady Penrhyn at Gravesend on the 31st January 1787.
Sarah Bellamy Memorial Plaque in her home village, Belbroughton, Worcestershire, England. |
For his services
James was emancipated in December 1791 and made superintendent over all the brick-makers and bricklayers. A few months later he was offered rehabilitation back to England but he refused. In March 1802 he was elected Sergeant
of the Sydney Loyal Association.
At this time James was farming his land grant of twenty acres at Petersham, west of Sydney, later increasing his holding to 245 acres.
Sadly, on the 21st of March 1804, aged only forty-four, two months after contracting a severe cold, which rapidly turned to pneumonia James Bloodsworth died, leaving Sarah with four surviving children, two sons and two daughters, the youngest only one week old.
As the first builder of note in the Colony, his
“exemplary conduct”, and “the integrity with which he uninterruptedly
discharged the duties of Public Trust during so long a period, His Excellency, (Governor Captain Philip Gidley King), was pleased to order the funeral should be provided at Public Expense and to
show other marks of attention to so good a Servant of the Crown.” The Sydney Loyal Association escorted the cortège with muffled drums and James Bloodsworth, convict made good, was laid to rest in the town cemetery with full military honours.
Sarah died on the 24th of February 1843 at Lane Cove, North Shore, Sydney.

Dating from the
governorship of Lachlan Mcquarrie, 1810-1821, the masonry pier projects dog-leg to
enclose a sheltered landing with a flight of stone steps into the water.
Located close by
today’s Sydney Opera House the steps
allowed landing and embarkation for men of British and Australian Man O’War vessels at anchor in the bay for over 150 years.
The steps were
restored in 1973.

The original
photographer, Charles Bayliss, 1850-1897, was born near Ipswich, Suffolk, England and moved to
Melbourne, Australia, at the age of four with his parents in 1854.
Charles was sixteen when travelling photographer thirty-six year old Henry Beaufoy Merlin called at their house selling pictures from his caravan. So intrigued by this new technology Mr. Merlin offered Charles a job as an apprentice, later becoming his assistant. Together they toured and photographed Victoria and New South Wales at a time of rapid development and change. Their images, many depicting hardships faced by prospectors during the Australian Gold Rush, are proof that a single picture can convey more than a thousand words.
In 1876 Charles and
his family moved to Sydney where two years later he felt confident enough set up his own photographic studio at 348, George Street. In 1883 he married Christiana Salier, they had three sons and two daughters.
Sadly, on the 4th of June 1897 aged only
forty-seven, Charles Bayliss died after catching
a chill which rapidly turned to pneumonia. His eldest child, Raymond was thirteen,
his youngest, Eric, barley one year old.

Charles Bayliss
is remembered through his photographs, a number of which are in the

prospector, politician and businessman;
together they are an enduring record of life in Australia in the late nineteenth century. |

With
the arrival of the First Fleet in January 1788 Governor Phillip appropriately
named the forty-nine foot tall sandstone islet, Rock Island, today Fort
Denison.
Within
days, on the 11th of February, convict Thomas Hill
was charged with “detaining (a fellow) convict and forcibly taking
and carrying away a certain quantity of bread the said convict was carrying in
a bag over his shoulder to the value of two pence.” Found
guilty of taking the bread but not forcibly taking it, Hill was sentenced
to be held or
a week on the island in irons on bread and water.
As
a ready source of sandstone for construction Circular Quay, the rock was levelled
by
convict labour under the direction of civil engineer for the colony,
Captain
George Barney. In 1796 a gibbet was installed.
Transported
to New South Wales for murder in 1793, the first man executed on the
gibbet,
(the twenty-ninth in the colony), was Francis
Morgan, after brutally murdering
Simon Raven in Sydney on the 18th of October 1796. On the day of his execution, Wednesday the 30th of November 1796, asked by the hangman if he had anything to say Morgan reputedly replied, “that the only thing worth mentioning was the superb view of the harbour from his high elevation, and he was sure there were no waters the world over to compare with its beauty.”
Fort Denison’s most
distinctive feature is its Martello Tower,
the only one ever built in Australia and last in the British Empire. The Fort's stop / go construction, using 8,000 tons of sandstone, was finally completed in 1857, the barracks capable of housing twenty-four soldiers and one officer.

Hill & Sons
won the contract by open tender. They were not the lowest bid,
but offered to include a full-length 64 foot
Contra Trombone pedal stop,
a world first at
the time, thereby making the organ the envy of world.
The
specification called for an instrument of unprecedented proportions:
126 speaking
stops and 14 couplers spread over five manuals and pedals:
Choir, Great,
Swell, Solo and Echo.

The opening
recital took place on Saturday the 9th of August 1890
in front of

invited guests. The organist, considered by many to be the finest in
the world, was

formerly organist at the Anglican Church of St. Martin-in-the Fields, London.
Between 1973 and
1983 the instrument underwent major renovation by
Roger H. Pogson
Pty., Ltd., followed by further restoration in 2015 at a cost
of £800,000 when its nine thousand pipes were delicately
repaired, cleaned,
tuned and documented, returning it
to its original form so
that today it remains
the greatest
surviving monument to English organ building.
It remains
the largest instrument without any electric action components.
The decorative
casing, based on the Baroque 17th century organ in the
Church
of St. James, Stralsund,
Northern Germany, was designed by William Hill’s
grandson, Dr.
Arthur George Hill.
Dr. Hill, an
organ builder himself became head of the company following the death of
his father in 1893 who had succeeded his father, William Hill, in 1871.
