On May 13, 1787, a fleet of English ships set sail for Australia with
about 750 people. These men and women were no ordinary passengers. They
were convicts being sent to Australia as punishment for their crimes.
Laws in England during this period were very harsh, and people were
punished revelry for even the smallest crimes.Someone should be sentenced
to death for hunting on another persone’s property or be put to death for
chopping down someone else’s tree. For many other crimes, the punishment
was “transportation”. Guilty men and women were shipped to a distant land
where they were forced to work without pay. Often children were shipped to
other lands, too .

claimed it for England. At first, England found no use for this vast land on
