An ill fated voyage to begin with as cholera broke out aboard her
on the day she sailed from Woolwich, so she anchored in Plymouth Sound
but was ordered to put to sea again after receiving medical supplies
and the services of an assistant surgeon from the Royal Navy.
She returned to the Thames Estuary and was laid up in Stangate Creek
until almost the end of March before being allowed to resume her voyage.
Of the 222 convicts aboard, 30 men developed cholera and 13 died
before she finally set sail from Woolwich in February 1832 bound for Van Diemans Land
(arriving on 16 July) carrying 222 male convicts under the command of Captain James Berry. |
