Our travellers arrived in Australia in 1893, 123 years after Lieutenant (later Captain) James Cook, R.N., F.R.S. first came ashore at Botany Bay on the 29th of April 1770, and one hundred and five years after Captain Arthur Phillip, R.N., commanding the First Fleet, founded the British penal colony on the site of today's Sydney in 1788.

THE FIRST FLEET  -  FOUNDING OF SYDNEY.

The eleven ships of the First Fleet departed Portsmouth, England on Sunday
 the 13th of May 1787, arriving Botany Bay, Australia, in January 1788, 
their purpose to establish a penal colony in Australia.
They found oceanic Botany Bay, so named by Captain Cook after the great variety of plants discovered by English naturalist, botanist and patron of the natural sciences, Sir Joseph Banks, G.C.B., P.R.S., and Swedish naturalist Dr. Daniel Solander eighteen years earlier, windswept, swampy and lacking any source of fresh water.
The Northern Shore is today known as Lachlan Swamps, named after Scottish born
Major General Lachlan Macquarrie, C.B., fifth and last Governor of New South Wales, from 1810 to 1821, who had succeeded fourth governor Captain William Bligh, R.N. of “Mutiny on the Bounty” fame.

The First Fleet comprised the 612 ton, 
twenty gun frigate HMS Sirius as flagship, named after the southern star; (converted from the 1780 built merchantman Berwick); the  
twenty-eight year old 168 ton Royal Navy armed tender, HMS Supply, carrying four small 3-lb. cannon, and four 12-lb. carronades; three store ships: the 351 ton Golden Grovebuilt 1780; 375 ton Borrowdale built 1785; and the 378 ton Fishburnbuilt 1780; plus six convict transports: the 452 ton Alexander, built 1783; 429 ton Scarboroughbuilt 1782; 333 ton Lady Penrhynbuilt 1786; 350 ton Prince of Wales, built 1786; 276 ton Friendship, built 1784; and the 345 ton Charlotte, built 1784.

The eleven ships of the First Fleet:

His Majesties Ships: Sirius, Prince of Wales, Fishburn, Golden Grove, Alexander, Charlotte, Scarboro'(ugh), Lady Penrhyn, Friendship, Borrowdale 
and the armed brigantine, Supply. 

HMS Scarborough was the only ship from the First Fleet to sail with the Second Fleet, the others being, The GuardianJustinianThe Lady JulianaNeptune and Surprize.

Already vested with complete authority over the new colony, Captain Phillip,
was appointed Governor by King George III on the 7th of  February, 1788,
a post he held for almost five years.
The Governor of New South Wales at the time of Bullough and Mitchell’s visit was
former Scottish Liberal politician, Sir Robert William Duff, G.C.M.G., P.C.

The Biographical Dictionary of the First Fleet records 1,420 persons embarked,
with 1,336 disembarking at Port Jackson of which 600 were male and 250 female prisoners.
However, both deaths and births occurred during the 15,000 mile, 256 day passage  via
Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro and the Cape of Good Hope to Sydney Cove, all eleven ships 
arriving safely within two days of each other on the 24th of January 1788.


Uncertainty there may be over how many persons embarked or disembarked, 
but the First Fleet brought unseen passengers which were to have a decimating effect; 
tuberculosis, influenza, measles, whooping cough and the common cold; 
but none more so than variola major, smallpox, which within a year was responsible
for the deaths of innumerable Indigenous people in the newly settled colony .

* All accounts and numbers vary. Some claim a total of 1,484 embarked at Portsmouth.

THE CHILD SWEEP AT WORK
by George Cruikshank
"When the British Parliament
abolished slavery in 1808 the
flues of its august chambers
were (still) being climbed 

by boys of four, five and six
years of age." 

England's Climbing-Boys - G. Phillips
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.”  
(Fifteen days later Sirius was wrecked while landing supplies at Norfolk Island.)

Colonisation of Norfolk Island, 1,136 nautical miles due east of Australias 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 Fleeton the 26th of June 1790 
on-board the 394 ton, armed, three deck converted merchantman Surprizedescribed 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 

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.

FIRST FLEETERS
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.

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.
The First Government House was built of 
“English bricks, native stone and baked sandstone 
bricks under the direction of James Bloodsworth 
between  1888 and 1889.
It was the first permanent building in Sydney and
Remained the administrative hub of the fledgling
Australian Colony until 1845 when it was demolished.

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.

Built in 1883 this large warehouse at Circular Quay is that of  Hill, Clark & Co., Wool & Produce Store.
Hill, Clark managed stockyards for sheep, cattle and horses, as well as dealing in grain 
with a facility in Sussex Street.

The warehouse was demolished in the 1950's, the site today being occupied by Bennelong Apartments.
On the promontory behind stands the iconic
 Sydney Opera House, opened in 1973.

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.

A plaque erected by The Naval Association of Australia on the 30th of January 1983 records:

“From These Steps 2,215 Officers And Sailors Of The Royal Australian Navy Left To Serve Their Country In The Great War 1914-1918, The Second World War 1939-1945, Korea, Malaya, And Vietnam, Never To Return To Enjoy The Fruits Of Their Labours In Their Native Land.

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 
Holtermann Collection, a series commissioned by Berhardt Otto Holtermann, 
a wealthy gold 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.

HMS Orlando, 5,600 tons, was a first class armoured cruiser of the Orlando Class.
Built by Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company, Jarrow, England, 
Orlando was laid-down in April 1885 and launched in August 1886.
Statistics: Length: 300 feet; Beam: 56 feet; draught: 22½ feet.
A 3 cylinder triple-extension steam engine producing 8,500 HP
and a speed of 18 knots, and a range of 10,000 miles.
Protected by a ten inch armour belt. Crewe compliment 484.

A formidable vessel, Orlando carried two B.L. (breach loading) 9.2 inch guns,
One forward and one aft, ten 6 inch Mk. III IV, V guns,
Plus six 6-lb. and ten 3-lb. Hotchkiss guns.
J. P. Lund’s photograph depicts her flying the Admiral’s Flag on her aft mast.
HMS Orlando served as Flagship of the Australian Station for nine years, 1888-1897,
following which she served on the China Station before being retired in 1905
after nineteen years of service and sold for £10,000 as scrap.

 INTERIOR OF TOWN HALL SYDNEY, SHOWING GRAND ORGAN
Album VII  *  Image 32  * Size 8½ x 6 inches  *  Original by Charles Bayliss   
George W. Randall Research and Photographic  Archive.

Construction of the 8,700 pipe organ commenced in 1886 and was completed
June 1889 by William Hill & Sons  in London, England. Prior to shipment the
organ was thoroughly tested “by a number of prominent organists ... including
Sir Frederick Bridge, C.V.O., organist of Westminster Abbey, who considered
it to be the finest organ ever built by an English organ builder.”
Dismantled it was packed in zinc lined cases and delivered to the docks for
shipment and installation in Sydney Town Hall - total cost £14,241 including twelve
months maintenance - equal to almost £1,800,000* in 2018.
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.

Sydney Town Hall Organ as it appears today. 


+
The opening recital took place on Saturday the 9th of August 1890 in front of
four thousand invited guests. The organist, considered by many to be the finest in
the world, was sixty-four year old Liverpool city organist, Mr. William Thomas Best, 
 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.
