The Perils of the Ship Captain’s Journey What is the best pathway to Australia? By Joan (Smithy) Walklate & Alan Thwaites (click our names to contact us)Joan (Smithy) Walklate Alan Thwaites Pakenham Secondary College

Problems on ship journeys In the early 19 th century the ships did not have motors and were only powered by wind. This meant that they took a long time to travel anywhere. Here are some facts about travelling on ships back then: It took the first fleet 8 months to travel from England to Australia, but it could be less or more depending on the wind. They had to take everything with them, but they had no fridges or microwaves so they had problems with food to solve. Convict ships were very crowded. They were unhealthy and boring because of all the people and because they didn’t have TVs or play stations. Sometimes the crew got angry because of the conditions and would take over their ship. This was called mutiny. You can click the ship to go to a site about the problems of the First Fleet to Australia.

More Problems on Ship Journeys The Captain had to decide the best way to go. The problem was how to get there as quickly as possible and still have enough good food to eat so they didn’t get sick. Map of Captain Cook’s Journeys – He had lots of choices on which way to go.

What Way Should the Captain Go? This is the way we thought would be best because when the ship gets below Africa there are very strong winds that blow all the way to Australia

Why We Chose This Way for the Captain to Go There are strong winds called the “roaring forties” that blow all year from Africa to Australia. Our ship would go fast once we got to the bottom of Africa. We didn’t have to go close to Antarctica which has bad storms and that might wreck the ship.

Why We Chose This Way for the Captain to Go The way we chose is the shortest on the map. We measured it with a piece of string and compared it to the scale. It was kilometres long. There were also places we could stop at to get fresh food.

Why We Chose This Way for the Captain to Go If the journey took more time the Captain would have give the crew more pay and he would have to spend more food for the convicts. So the quickest way is cheapest.

Where We Stop on Our Trip In England the Captain would have to make sure there was plenty of food on board. They had no fridge so food like milk and vegetables did not last long. The Captain would have to bring cows and sheep and chickens for fresh food but this would not last for the whole trip. We had the Captain stop at Cape Town at the bottom of South Africa to get more fresh food and animals. They would also need to get water.
