21.01.2022 An event to keep an eye on for those in Tassie in April! The Female Convicts Research Centre are holding their annual seminar in Hobart on 5 April 2020. What: FCRC Seminar 2020... When: Sunday, 5 April 2020 Topic: THE EARLY YEARS 18031828 Venue: Hobart Town Hall Registrations: https://www.femaleconvicts.org.au/fcrc/seminar-registration Two hundred years ago, the 'Morley' sailed from London to Hobart Town. This was the first time that convict women were sent to Van Diemen’s Land directly from England. The convict women on the 'Morley' arrived at a time before the Hobart Town Female Factory was established, raising the question of how they were managed. The 'Morley' disembarked 50 of its cargo of 121 women; the reminder sailed to Sydney. This pattern of shared voyages continued for some time and it was not until the 'Providence' in 1826 that a female convict ship disembarked its entire shipment of convict women in Hobart. The FCRC Seminar for 2020 will explore the experience of those convict women who came directly to Hobart Town and compare it with those who came via Sydney. Why was the system changed? What impact did it have on the lives of the convict women?
