She departed England on January, 1970 under the command of Captain Donald Traill and on-board were 421 male and 78 female convicts. Neptune arrived in Port Jackson 160 days later on June 28, 1990. During the horrendous journey 158 convicts died (31%) and another 269 (53%) were sick when landed. The treatment of convicts aboard the Neptune was unquestionably the most horrific in the history of transportation to Australia. Convicts suspected of petty theft were flogged to death; most were kept chained below decks for the duration of the voyage; scurvy and other diseases were endemic; and the food rations were pitiful. Upon their return to England, the despicable Trail and his chief mate, William Ellerington, were privately prosecuted for the murder of an unnamed convict, along with a seaman named Andrew Anderson and a cook, John Joseph. After a trial lasting three hours before Sir James Marriott in the Admiralty Court, the jury acquitted both men on all charges “without troubling the Judge to sum up the evidence”. There were no public prosecutions, as public prosecutions in Britain did not exist until 1880. Amongst the arrivals in the Second Fleet were D’Arcy Wentworth and John Macarthur, his wife Elizabeth, and their son Edward Macarthur. The Macarthur’s were aboard the Neptune when it left England but fortunately for them they transferred to Scarborough after a quarrel with the captain. Sarah Cobcroft (née Smith), de facto of convict John Cobcroft, a mid-wife and later pioneer farmer of Wilberforce, also arrived aboard the Neptune. program Boxing gloves & training t-shirt included in registration You can pay the $220 up front, or a payment plan of $110 at registration and $110 at the first training session.
