The Second
Fleet Transport Surprise
The Surprise was one
of the three ships that made up the second fleet.
She embarked her convicts in December 1789 and
sailed from England on 19 January 1790. Charles
Bateson claims that the Surprise carried 256 male
convicts. She relanded six convicts prior to
leaving English waters. Thirty-six convicts died
on the Surprise during the voyage to Port Jackson.
The three ships of the Second Fleet arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope, in company, on 13 April 1790
following a passage of just 84 days from
Portsmouth. On June 23 1790 the Surprise was in
sight of the entrance to Port Jackson but, having
been separated from the other two ships, was blown
out to sea by contrary winds and did not make
landfall at Port Jackson until 26 June 1790, 158
days after leaving England.
