Download or read book The Wreck of the Neva The Horrifying Fate of a Convict Ship and the Women Aboard written by Cal McCarthy and published by Mercier Press Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-10 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Neva' sailed from Cork on 8 January 1835, destined for the prisons of Botany Bay. There were 240 people on board, most of them either female convicts or the wives of already deported convicts, and their children. On 13 May 1835 the ship hit a reef just north of King's Island in Australia and sank with the loss of 224 lives - one of the worst shipwrecks in maritime history. The authors have comprehensively researched sources in Ireland, Australia and the UK to reconstruct in fascinating detail the stories of these women. Most perished beneath the ocean waves, but for others the journey from their poverty stricken and criminal pasts continued towards hope of freedom and prosperity on the far side of the world. At a time when Australia is once again becoming a new home for a generation of migrating Irish, it is appropriate that the formative historical links between the two countries be remembered.

Book excerpt: A collaborative 2012 archaeological survey by the Alaska Office of History and Archaeology, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Sitka Historical Society identified a site (SIT-963) believed to be the camp of survivors from the January 1813 wreck of the Russian-American Company ship NEVA. During 2015-2016, following consultation with stakeholders under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, an international team of archaeologists from the U.S., Canada, and Russia conducted excavations at the site. After 2013, work at the site was supported by the National Science Foundation (Award No. PLR-1330939). Because the survival camp is in Tongass National Forest, upland work was conducted under USDA Forest Service Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) permits (ID No. SIT699/620935010602 and ID No. SIT712/62093501062). Concurrent research was conducted on State submerged and intertidal lands adjacent to the Tongass under an Alaska Office of History and Archaeology permit (No. 2014-02, as amended). This allowed for offshore remote sensing by marine magnetometer and sidescan sonar, as well as scuba surveys. The excavations at SIT-963 revealed features and artifacts consistent with an early 19th century shipwreck survivors camp, including gunflints, part of a nautical divider, a brass buckle, lead shot, cannon trunnion caps, a wrought drift pin, copper sheathing, and nails of copper and iron. Some of the ship’s debris, such as lead shot and copper sheathing, had been modified for use in a survival situation. In an area believed to be in the trajectory of flotsam from the wreck, the team discovered cached materials that included copper sheathing, axes, iron bar stock, and hardware from a cannon carriage. A grave with the outline of a hastily constructed coffin was discovered at the edge of the survivor camp area, but was only exposed enough to see the rectangular coffin outline. While intrusive materials from a nearby mid-to-late 19th century hunting camp were present, the overall picture is one of improvisation and survival. Faunal analysis indicated that the survivors were able to harvest Sitka deer and other animals from the land and sea. The results of the field investigation, along with archival research in St. Petersburg and London, has added details to our knowledge of the NEVA’s history and of the archaeology of survival in a harsh environment. It has replaced some of the “lore of the sea” with scientific outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A book that looks deeply into the lives of some of the convicts who were sentenced in court to be transported to Botany Bay.” —Pirates and Privateers In the eighty years between 1787 and 1868 more than 160,000 men, women and children convicted of everything from picking pockets to murder were sentenced to be transported beyond the seas. These convicts were destined to serve out their sentences in the empires most remote colony: Australia. Through vivid real-life case studies and famous tales of the exceptional and extraordinary, Convicts in the Colonies narrates the history of convict transportation to Australia—from the first to the final fleet. Using the latest original research, Convicts in the Colonies reveals a fascinating century-long history of British convicts unlike any other. Covering everything from crime and sentencing in Britain and the perilous voyage to Australia, to life in each of the three main penal colonies—New South Wales, Van Diemen’s Land, and Western Australia—this book charts the lives and experiences of the men and women who crossed the world and underwent one of the most extraordinary punishments in history. “An easily read, fascinating history, telling the tales of the ‘recidivist’ convicts in the 18th and 19th centuries.” —The Essex Family Historian
