Ships of the Third Fleet

Some of these ships carried members of the New South Wales Corps to Australia.
We are attempting to place each soldier of the New South Wales Corps, who arrived as part of the Third Fleet on board their respective Ship. It does not represent all soldiers only those who may have settled.
We have omitted convicts from these pages as the site is dedicated to the Soldiers.
It is not intended to justify or condone the actions or behavior of some of the military or the civilian contractors in any form, and should not be taken that way.
Information regarding convicts can be found on the following sites:
