The Main Purpose...

The main purpose of this website is to deliver to the Internet a major history writing/research project - The Blackheath Connection.
Producing this has been a major exercise, reviewing the history of convict transportation from England (or, Britain) to North America 1718-1755, and later to Australia from 1786-1810.
Research for this has been undertaken since 1977.
I refer to this project as a website book, (a surfable book?) and a detailed follow-up on the period 1810-1865 is now being completed and is due soon on the Net.
If you are attracted to The Blackheath Connection, prepare for some surprises by way of discovering a new set of perspectives on the rise of Australia's convict colonies from 1788!

Various other of my writings, and various pages arising from my areas of general interest will also gradually appear on this domain. So please keep watching...
One of these areas of interest is Anglo-Indian-Australian C18th-C19th maritime history and matters associated.

And in general, please feel quite free to email on any topics you find treated on these websites.

The Duncan Campbell Letterbooks: This article treats: Provenance of the Duncan Campbell Letterbooks, with commentary. Historians of the UK, US, and Australia have never seen Campbell as chairman of the British Creditors, in the context of the the settlement of Australia as an outcome of the American Revolution... we might say, "fallout forgotten"!

'Emptying the Hulks' - Duncan Campbell and the first three fleets of convict ships to Australia: This article treats: the first three convict fleets as a unified maritime push by Britain into the Pacific - which is not how such matters have ever been seen before.
