Abstract
ABSTRACT: Between 1787 and 1868 a total of 830 convict vessels left the British Isles
bound for the Australian penal colonies. While only one of these was seized by
mutineers, many convicts were punished for plotting to take the ship that carried them
to the Antipodes. This article will explore the circumstances that shaped those mutiny
attempts and the impact that they had on convict management strategies.
