- 1814 ‘Catherine’ Mary McArdle
- Transport 325 tons. Built at New Bedford in 1811. William Simmons was the Master and the Surgeon was named Palmer. 98 female passengers, of whom one died. 97 landed at Sydney. See Indent list below.
- Sailed from Cove 8.12.1813 – Sydney 4.5.1814. 147 days.
- “On 22 August, 1813 the Catherine arrived from England at Cove to collect female convicts. Only two years old, the vessel was inspected on the day she arrived and was found to have ‘a good roomy prison and berths made up for a hundred females, and there may be more. Her hospital is a good one, except being placed in the bows; it is tolerably well ventilated. She had a table in the center of the prison which must be removed and forms placed there.’ Thirty women were put on the Catherine on the twenty fifth, and 29 more went on a couple of days later, followed by another ten on the twenty-eighth. Twenty five came to the vessel from the Cork city jail, and after 10 more arrived on 1 October there was a total of 90 women and four children. Most of the women were to serve 7 or 14 years, but Ann Rorke from Dublin and Catherine Geran from County Limerick, had life sentences. The occupations of the women included servant, housekeeper, needle – woman, shoe-binder, cutter, confectioner, shopkeeper, dealer, mantuar, upholsterer and country work.” (Botany Bay, by Con Costello. Pub Cork 1987
- Governor Macquarie to Earl Bathurst . “ Catherine , commanded by Capt. Wm Simmonds, arrived with 97 female convicts, one only having died on the voyage….I am happy in being enabled to state that the convicts who arrived by the Catherine…have, without a single exception, borne grateful testimony to their having been treated with the most unremitting care, attention and kindness, by the master and surgeon, from the day of their embarkation until they were finally landed here. The settlement in Van Dieman’s Land being much in want of women, I have embarked 60 of those arrived to the Derwent.” HRA 1 V111 (253).
- In 1814, 98 women were transported from Ireland. 102 from Great Britain.
