The third fleet of 11 ships [Atlantic, William and Ann, Britannia, Matilda, Salamander, Albemarle, Mary Anne, Admiral Barrington, Active and Gorgon] arrived in 1791, with over 2000 convicts. The newspaper report states that 194 male convicts and 4 female convicts died during the voyage and that though conditions on board ship weren’t as “diabolical” as the previous year, they were still outrageous. The convicts from Ireland who arrived on board the “Queen” are not included in the newspaper lists. The list was compiled in London and so there is no way of knowing which people died on the voyage out, or did not leave England for any reason.
