Prince of Wales was a transport ship in the First Fleet, assigned to carry convicts for the European colonisation of Australia in 1788.

Built in 1786, she set sail for Australia the following year, reaching Botany Bay in January 1788 with 49 convicts, 31 marines and 23 civilians. On a difficult return voyage in 1788–89 she became separated from her convoy, was taken eastward around the world instead of west and drifted helplessly off Rio de Janeiro for a day while her crew was incapacitated with scurvy. She remained in use until 1797; her fate thereafter is unknown.

Construction

Prince of Wales was a square-sterned barque of 350 tons,[3][4][a] 103 feet (31 m) long and 31 feet (9.4 m) wide and with a height between decks of 5 feet 8 inches (1.73 m) amidships and 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) fore and aft.[1][5] She was built on the River Thames in 1786, by the firm Christopher Watson and Co. of Rotherhithe which also built HMS Sirius,[7] and was designed to be sailed by a crew of around 25 under the direction of a single ship's master.[5] Her owner was Cornhill merchant John Mather,[8] who had previously purchased and disposed of Captain Cook's Endeavour after that vessel had returned from Botany Bay.[9]

In 1787 Prince of Wales was contracted for the First Fleet voyage by south London shipbroker William Richards, who selected her after consultation with Royal Marine officers Watkin Tench and David Collins.[10] Both marine officers would sail with the Fleet to Australia, Tench as a captain of marines and Collins as judge-advocate for the new colony.

She was the second-smallest of the First Fleet transports after Friendship and the last to be contracted to join the voyage.[1]

Voyage to Australia

By order of the Navy Board, Prince of Wales was assigned to the First Fleet on 2 March 1787 under the immediate command of ship's master John Mason, and the overall command of naval officer and future Governor of New South Wales, Arthur Phillip aboard Sirius.[12] She was the last transport to be added to the Fleet before it sailed.[13]

She left Portsmouth on 13 May 1787 with a crew of around 25, and accompanied by the other vessels of the Fleet: five transports, three storeships and two Royal Navy vessels. The 24-gun post ship HMS Hyaena accompanied the Fleet through the Channel as fleet escort, departing when the ships reached Atlantic waters.[14] Prince of Wales arrived in Tenerife on 5 June, where she was resupplied. A second resupply was conducted in August in the Portuguese port of Rio de Janeiro, including the delivery aboard Prince of Wales of quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables, seeds and an additional provision of rum for the marines.[15] Prince of Wales then turned southeast with the Fleet, reaching Cape Town in October and entering the Great Southern Ocean on November 13 for the last leg of the voyage to Australia.[16] The first death among the crew occurred on the night of November 24 when a seaman fell overboard from the topsail yard and could not be rescued.[17] A week later a second seaman, Yorgan Younginson, drowned after being washed overboard in heavy seas.[18]

By mid-December the ship's supply of flour and butter for the voyage had been exhausted and permission was obtained from Phillip to broach the stores set aside for the future colony in order to continue to feed the convicts.[19] A month later on January 20, 1788 Prince of Wales reached Australia's Botany Bay to unload her convict cargo. Six days later she sailed for Sydney Cove as part of the relocation of the convict settlement to Port Jackson.[20] Leaving Botany Bay she collided with Friendship, losing her mainmast staysail and topsail, but the damage was swiftly repaired and she was able to enter Port Jackson in line with her fellow transports.[21]

Convicts

Prince of Wales carried 47 female convicts on departure from Portsmouth. After five days at sea, two males were also brought across from Scarborough, ringleaders of a failed mutiny. They remained aboard Prince of Wales for the remainder of the voyage to Australia.[14]

Convict health was comparatively good during the voyage, with a report by Governor Philip showing only nine cases of illness aboard Prince of Wales by the time she reached Tenerife, the least for any First Fleet transport.[b] Indeed, Phillip wrote to Admiralty advising that "the convicts are not so sickly as when we sailed," though the women aboard Prince of Wales had no new clothing and were still in the ragged apparel they had worn in prison.[22] There was no ship's surgeon aboard but the vessel was periodically visited by Chief Surgeon John White, who was rowed out to her from Sirius when weather and sailing conditions permitted.[23] As the Fleet headed toward Rio in July, humid conditions and heavy rains generated a "plague of bugs" below decks with more than a hundred insects found in one small sleeping area alone.[24] There were also reports of rats, fleas and lice, and an outbreak of scurvy in late December.[25]

Despite this, serious illness remained rare and the first convict death was from accidental causes rather than disease. On July 24 the ship's longboat fell from a boom and struck 22-year-old Jane Bonner in the head; she died from her injuries six days later.[23] A second convict, John Hartley, died of unknown causes on August 5.[26] These two deaths compared favourably with those of other transports, particularly Alexander which suffered 30 deaths as a consequence of overcrowding and an overflowing bilge.[26][27]

Convict discipline was also well maintained, except for prostitution between the female convicts and the crew, which was rampant on Prince of Wales, Friendship and Lady Penrhyn.[28] The first recorded punishment of a convict aboard Prince of Wales was in October 1787, nearly nine months after she had sailed; six lashes for a woman caught stealing from her fellows while they were "at prayer."[29]

Marines

The ship also carried a contingent of 31 marines comprising lieutenants Thomas Davey and Thomas Timins, 24 privates and five other ranks. Sixteen of the marines embarked with their wives, and there were six children. Discipline was poor. In June 1787 two marines were court-martialed for disobeying orders with one receiving 300 lashes. Later in the voyage, two sergeants refused to share a mess after one insulted the other's wife.[30] Drunkenness was also common. In June one drunken marine sergeant fell through an open hatchway and injured the pregnant wife of another marine, for which offence he was placed in legcuffs for two weeks and then transferred to Alexander. And in late October, First Lieutenant James Maxwell, who had recently transferred aboard from Charlotte, was found incoherently drunk on duty and promptly sent back to his previous vessel.[31]

Two more children were born to the wives of marines during the voyage.[c] In October 1787 the wife of marine drummer Benjamin Cook died from an unspecified illness and was buried at sea after a brief ceremony.[31]

James Scott, a Sergeant of Marines, wrote an account of the voyage in his journals, now held at the State Library of New South Wales[33]

Return to England

Lieutenant John Shortland, commander of convoy of First Fleet ships on the return voyage to England in 1788.

Prince of Wales remained anchored in Sydney Cove for five months after her voyage, while her stores were unloaded. A shipboard inspection during this time found her hull was rotten with shipworm and on May 23, 1788 she was careened on the beach for repairs.[34]

In July she was released from government service and set sail for England on the 14th of that month, in convoy with her First Fleet sister ships Alexander, Borrowdale and Friendship and under the overall command of Lieutenant John Shortland in Alexander.[35]

It had been intended that the convoy sail north to rendezvous at Lord Howe Island, then set a course broadly parallel to the Great Barrier Reef with the aim of reaching the Dutch port of Batavia.[36] From there the convoy would sail west through the Sunda Straits to the Cape of Good Hope, then north through the Atlantic to England. This route was comparatively well mapped – the first part largely mirroring that of James Cook in his first voyage in the Pacific from 1768 to 1771, and the remainder from Batavia being the traditional route of Dutch East Indiamen returning to Europe. Shortland estimated the voyage would take the convoy between six and ten months.[35]

This navigation plan was abandoned when both Prince of Wales and Borrowdale lost sight of Alexander and Friendship during a severe storm in late July, and found themselves alone and off course by the time the weather cleared. The two lost ships anchored while their masters, John Mason in Prince of Wales and Hobson Reed in Borrowdale, consulted. Neither considered it likely they could reach the Lord Howe Island rendezvous. They were also reluctant to hazard the voyage to Batavia through the Great Barrier Reef, without Alexander in the lead. Instead, they agreed to turn their ships southeast into the open ocean and to return to England by sailing the other way around the world, via Cape Horn and Rio de Janeiro and then northeast across the Atlantic to Europe.[36]

The Pacific weather proved favourable but by August the two ships had lost sight of each other and continued their voyage separately. On August 23 Prince of Wales rounded Cape Horn alone and headed northeast and north on a path to Rio.[37] Throughout the voyage her crew had been heavily reliant on a diet of salted meat and by early September the majority were incapacitated by scurvy. Mason died from the condition on October 9, and another 13 men were too ill to leave their bunks.[36] When Rio was finally sighted on October 13 the crew were too sick to bring the ship to port. She drifted helplessly in the outer harbor until Rio's harbourmaster sighted her the following morning and had additional seamen rowed out to assist.[5][36] Twelve of Prince of Wales' sickest crew members were hospitalised in Rio while the remainder recovered on board.

A resupplied Prince of Wales set sail from Rio on Christmas Day 1788, completing an uneventful final leg to reach Falmouth in England on March 25, 1789. Despite the delays of disease, weather and an unfamiliar route, she was the first of the Fleet to return home, two months ahead of Shortland's Alexander which did not reach England until May 28.[36]

Second voyage to Australia

Prince of Wales returned to private merchant service until 1795 when she was contracted to deliver government provisions for the New South Wales colony. She set sail in early 1796 under the command of Master William Milner and carrying 111,216 pounds (50.4 metric tons) of beef and 261,678 pounds (118.7 metric tons) of pork, and reached Port Jackson on 2 November.[38][39][40] Her cargo was progressively unloaded over a period of three weeks. While in Port Jackson she took aboard the colony's master boat builder, Daniel Paine, recently dismissed from his position for "insolent and contemptuous behaviour" and seeking a passage back to England.[41]

Voyage to China

Prince of Wales departed New South Wales on 18 November, heading for Macao where Milner planned to purchase a shipment of tea.[42] Her proposed route was northward along the New South Wales coast, northeast through open sea to avoid the Pacific islands, and then northwest toward the Chinese coast. However, despite clear conditions Prince of Wales was soon off course; on 6 January 1797 her crew were surprised to make landfall among the Mariana Islands, far to the south and west of their destination. After consulting navigation charts and observing the stars, Milner and Paine determined that the ship was 4° west of their expected path and set a new course almost due north.[43] On 16 January Prince of Wales came within sight of Formosa but was unable to make landfall due to heavy seas.

Two days later she anchored off what may have been an island in the Wanshan Archipelago and unsuccessful attempts were made to find a local pilot to guide the ship.[44]

Collision at sea

At 1 am on 22 January Prince of Wales collided with a Chinese ship, carrying away the English vessel's jib boom and causing damage to her bow. The Chinese craft was struck amidships and began to sink, her crew scrambling overboard to avoid being dragged down with her. Several Chinese sailors leapt from their ship to the English one, startling Milner's crew; Paine recorded in his journal that "the Alarm caused me to jump from my cot and run to the arms chest, but such was the call for cutlasses that it was not until the third or fourth attempt I could reach the deck, being accosted each time in the companionway with "O give me that cutlass sir, and get another for they are coming on board."[45]

Paine finally attained the quarterdeck, which he described as being in absolute confusion:

The Captain was bawling to square the yards and stop the Ship's way; but with very little attention from the Ship's Company who impressed with the idea of Chinese pirates were alone intent in cutting and slashing away upon the vessel's rigging and sail and preventing the China-men from coming on board ... (The Chinese) having clambered up the Fore-chains, impelled no doubt with the fear of their vessel sinking after receiving so violent a shock; these with the extreme darkness of the night and the confusion of voices crying out, "a light, a light, a cutlass, a cutlass, a handspike, here they come!" with the addition of the unintelligible jargon of the affrighted Chinese.[45]

The sinking Chinese vessel disappeared quickly astern, and the Chinese sailors who had climbed aboard Prince of Wales were seized by Milner's crew and forced overboard despite making "piteous cries" for mercy.[45] The crew regretted their actions the following day. Paine noted that the Chinese had been justly entitled to Prince of Wales' assistance and should have been permitted to remain on board once their own vessel had foundered.[44]

Wanshan to Macao

Attempts to resume Prince of Wales's voyage were hampered by Milner's inability to determine her location. On 23 January it was estimated the ship was 90 nautical miles (170 km) east of their destination, but after another four days sailing it was evident they were still lost in the Wanshan Archipelago. On 3 February Paine observed that an island adjacent to the ship was the same as one they had passed on 26 January, indicating they had made no headway in the last seven days.[46] A village was seen, and Milner and others went ashore in the longboat to seek advice on their location, but the villagers simply "view(ed)) us with the utmost astonishment... as if they had never seen a European or a ship other than their coasting junks."[47] Finally, on 5 February a Chinese fishing vessel answered Milner's hails and pulled alongside.
