This volume is the most comprehensive work ever published about all the people on the First Fleet to Sydney in January 1788.

The volume, now out of print, is being comprehensively revised by Michael Flynn, with the agreement of Dr Gillen’s daughter, Barbara Gillen of London. It is anticipated that the revised Flynn/Gillen edition will be produced in three volumes, which will be available from the BDA online shop.
