The Enduring Friendship of the Governor’s Wife and his Mistress

The convict ship Lady Penrhyn departed England in 1787 with 104 female convicts. The vast majority had committed only petty crimes often driven by poverty. Every women had to find a way to survive in a brutal penal settlement vastly out numbered by men. Ann Inett was one of these women but they all had a story which unfortunately is often lost in our nation’s history. Image, First Fleet Fellowship
