About
"The author of this journal is known variously as Bowes and Smyth. He was known as Bowes during his stay at Port Jackson and the Journal is most frequently referred to as Bowes' Journal ... It is almost beyond doubt that Smyth was his family name ... The first fleeter, Lady Penrhyn carried more than one hundred female convicts from England to Sydney ..." Arthur Bowes Smyth (1750-1790) was the ship's surgeon, and wrote about the convicts. "... he also wrote about life and nature ... the native customs of Australia's Aborigines, the Tahitians and the Chinese with whom he came into contact are all carefully recorded. His descriptions of Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town under foreign rule make fascinating reading.".
