The Friendship weighed 274 tons and was 75 feet in length. She was the smallest of the eleven vessels of the historic First Fleet to Australia in 1788
The Fleet
First Fleet Ships - HMS Sirius and HMAT Supply accompanied by six convict transports, Alexander, Charlotte, Friendship, Prince of Wales, Lady Penrhyn and Scarborough, and three store ships, the Borrowdale, Fishburn and Golden Grove.Only four of the ships carried female prisoners - the Charlotte, Friendship, Lady Penrhyn and Prince of Wales.
Marines
Marine Officers included Lieutenant James Meredith, Lieutenant Ralph Clarke and Lieutenant Faddy. There were also 2 sergeants, 3 corporals, 1 drummer, and 36 privates. Besides this there were 28 women, 8 male and 6 female children, belonging to the soldiers of the detachment.Surgeons
Thomas Arndell was one of seven assistant surgeons who formed the medical staff led by Surgeon-General John White. He was employed on the Friendship. In the colony during the years 1790-92 he was in charge of the hospital at Parramatta. (2)Master of the Friendship

Prison Hulks
Prisoners to be embarked the Charlotte and Friendship were held in the hulk Chatham and then the Dunkirk at Plymouth .......November l0th, 1787, the convicts at Plymouth dock were on board the hulk of the Chatham, a seventy gun ship, and were healthy and well ; but the Dunkirk, which is more commodious, was repairing for them. Their bread, beef and beer were good; but the bread allowance of 4lb. a day to six men, is not sufficient. There were among them many fine young fellows, who all lived in total idleness, though some useful employment might here easily be found. There were ninety-two men and one woman: nine more convicts were coming on board from the gaol at Glamorgan. - (An Account of the Principal Lazarettos in Europe - John Howard
Surgeon John White described his first days with the Fleet in his journal ......
March 1787. 5th.
I this day left London, charged with dispatches from the Secretary of States office, and from the Admiralty, relative to the embarkation of that part of the marines and convicts intended for Botany Bay; and on the evening of the seventh, after travelling two days of the most incessant rain I ever remember, arrived at Plymouth, where the Charlotte and Friendship transports were in readiness to receive them.
General Collins, commander in chief at that port, lost no time in carrying the orders I had brought into execution: so that on the morning of the ninth the detachment of marines were on board, with all the baggage. But the next day being ushered in with a very heavy gale of wind, made it impracticable to remove the convicts from on board the Dunkirk prison ship, where they were confined.
So violent was the gale, that his Majesty's ship the Druid, of thirty-two guns, was forced to cut away her main-mast to prevent her driving on shore. The weather being moderate the following day, the convicts were put on board the transports, and placed in the different apartments allotted for them; all secured in irons, except the women. In the evening, as there was but little wind, we were towed by the boats belonging to the guardships out of the Hamaoze, where the Dunkirk lay, into Plymouth Sound. When this duty was completed, the boats returned; and the wind now freshening so as to enable us to clear the land, we proceeded to Spithead, where we arrived the seventeenth, and anchored on the Mother Bank, among the rest of the transports and victuallers intended for the same expedition, under the conduct of his Majesty's ship the Sirius. (4)

Departure
On 13th May 1787, Governor Philip having hoisted his flag on board the Sirius gave the signal to weigh anchor and they finally departed England's shores. They were accompanied by the Hyaena frigate to carry back dispatches if necessary. The Hyaena returned on the 20th with the intelligence that the convicts in the Scarborough had formed a plan for getting possession of that ship which the officers had fortunately detected and prevented. This was the only attempt of the kind made during the voyage to Australia. (1)Female Convicts
Lieutenant Ralph Clark kept a journal on the voyage which can be read online at the State Library of NSW.......The journal is intimate and makes interesting and sometimes amusing reading. He writes often of his love for his wife Alicia and their sons and also of his abhorrence of the convict women in his care. He has no qualms writing of the severe punishment of the women, while afterwards recording that he engaged one of the men to make him a net for his hair as his head was getting overheated in his nightcap!
He remarked with dismay on 19th June of the decision to release convict women from irons who had been so placed by himself ten days previously as punishment for fighting. The women, Elizabeth Dudgeon, Margaret Hall, Elizabeth Pulley and Charlotte Ware had shocked Clarke previously when they broke through the Bulkhead apparently to get to the seamen while the ship still lay at the Mother bank. Later the bulk head was again broken down by some of the seamen and the women were again found in the mens' quarters. He referred to the women as d.....d troublesome whores and would have had them flogged if he had his way.
Soon enough though, in the first week of July, Elizabeth Dudgeon was punished for impertinence to Captain Meredith by flogging with a rope....'The corporal did not play with her but laid it on - which I was very glad to see, then ordered her to the pump. She has been long fishing for it and has at last got her hearts content.'
Later Lieut. Clark recorded an incident with convict Elizabeth Barber who must have been quite a firebrand. After the water ration was reduced she began to abuse Dr. Arndell and was ordered into irons by Captain Meredith. While having the irons placed on her she began to abuse Meredith and then Lieut. Faddy. Clarke wondered how she came to forget to abuse him as she had all the others and remarked that never in the course of his days had he ever heard such expressions come from the mouth of a human being. She was ordered to have her hands tied behind her back and to be prevented from making so much noise. She wished them all to be hove overboard. "I wish to god", he wrote, "she was out of the ship. I would rather have a hundred more men than to have a single woman" .
Rio de Janeiro
The Fleet arrived at Rio de Janeiro on 6th August 1787 On August 11th Clarke received word that six of the best behaved convict women on the Friendship - viz Susannah Garth, Hannah Green, Frances Hart, Elizabeth Hervey, Mary Worthings and Ann Baigley were to be exchanged with six of the worst from the Charlotte....... Governor Philips view was (a matter not easily accomplished) to separate those whose decent behaviour entitled them to some favour from those who were totally abandoned and obdurate. (4)Clark was dismayed...I don't think it right, and I don't know what I shall do now as well ..... the only woman that can wash amongst them (is gone). The following women were received onto the Friendship from the Charlotte - Margaret Stuart, Fanny Anderson, Mary Phillips, Hannah Smith, Elizabeth Cook, Ann Coombes.
Cape of Good Hope
They sailed from Rio on 5th September 1787 and by mid October they had arrived at Table Bay at the Cape of Good Hope where thanks to the persistence of Governor Philip they obtained supplies of corn, sheep and other stock and various necessaries. Unfortunately the quantity they could find room for fell very short of what was needed to have taken in as the only spare room was what had been used by the consumption of provisions since they had left Rio and the removal of twenty female convicts from the Friendship into the Charlotte, the Lady Penrhyn and the Prince of Wales (3).Lieutenant Clark was greatly relieved to be rid of the women. He thought that the sheep would make better companions!
In correspondence written at Table Bay from an Officer on one of the vessels the following account is given of the Fleets arrival at the Bay: On the 12th October, to our great joy, we made Table Bay, and our Commodore having ordered the signal to be thrown out for all the ships to come into his wake, the Captains received their instructions for the disposition in which the fleet was entered and moored. They immediately hoisted their colours saluting the Commodore as they passed by, sailing into the Bay. Joy now beamed in every countenance, and we congratulated each other on the pleasing prospect of plenty of fresh provisions with great abundance of herbs, roots and fruits, the production of this fine country. Judge then, after a run of 1094 leagues, our happiness at the pleasing scene before our eyes.
In passing into the Bay our satisfaction was allayed by the loss of the second mate of the Friendship, a worthy character, and a good seaman, he fell overboard and perished. (3)
The Fleet Separates
On 25th November surgeon John White noted in his journal.... Governor Philip removed into the Supply armed tender, and took with him Lieutenant King of the Sirius, and Mr. Dawes of the marines, whom I had before occasion to mention as having undertaken the astronomical observations during the voyage. Having likewise selected some artificers from among the convicts, he went on, taking the Alexander, Scarborough, and Friendship with him, being fast sailing vessels; leaving the heavy sailers, both transports and victuallers, under the direction of Captain Hunter of the SiriusBotany Bay
The Friendship arrived in Botany Bay on 19th January 1788. Botany Bay was found unsuitable - the soil was poor and water scarce and on the 21st January Governor Phillip accompanied by officers set off in three open boats to examine the coast in the hope of finding a more suitable site for settlement. Finding in a cove of 'this noble and capacious harbour' a sufficiency of water and soil, he returned to Botany Bay after an absence of 3 days and gave directions for immediate removal to Port Jackson.Sydney Cove
At Sydney Cove Governor Philip and Officers raised the British flag and took formal possession. Later, on the evening of the 26th January more people were landed and the whole assembled where they had first landed and a union jack had been displayed. The marines fired several vollies and toasts to the health of His Majesty and the success of the new colony were given. The women remained on the ships until the 6th February. Surgeon Arthur Bowes Smyth of the Lady Penrhyn kept a journal during the voyage. He described the day in February when all the women were landed from the various vessels:Wednesday 6th February 1788..... This day at 5 o'clock, all things were got in order for landing the whole of the women, and 3 of the ships longboats came alongside of us to receive them; previous to their going out of the ship, a strict search was made to try if any of the many things which they had stolen on board could be found, but their artifice eluded the most strict search, and at six o'clock p.m. we had the long wished for pleasure of seeing the last of them leave the ship. They were dressed in general very clean, and some few amongst them might be said to be well dressed. The convicts got to them very soon after their landing and the scene of debauchery and riot that ensued during the night may be better conceived than expressed. Select here to read more from the journal of Arthur Bowes Smyth at the National Library of Australia.
Departure of the Friendship from the Colony
John White recorded in his journal the day the Friendship departed the colony..... 13th July 1788. - The Alexander, Friendship, and Prince of Wales transports, with the Borrowdale victualler, sailed for England. His Majesty's brig the Supply sailed at the same time for Norfolk Island, with provisions, etc. for the people there.The next convict ship to arrive in New South Wales after the First Fleet was the Lady Juliana.

5). Lieutenant Clark kept a record of all the convicts both male and female who had been involved in the Mercury Mutiny in 1784. The women who had been involved in the mutiny on the Mercury are marked with an 'M' in the list above.
The Mercury, bound to America in 1784 with one hundred and seventy convicts on board, was seized by the prisoners. (one of whom was said to be Thomas Barrett who later arrived in Australia on the Charlotte). The captain and officers were put in irons after a fierce battle; but the convicts having brought the ship into Torbay, Devon, they launched a boat and about sixty went on shore, armed; a second attempt to land was made by the remainder next morning; but the captain and his people, having escaped from their chains, and obtained assistance from a King's ship, immediately captured them.
