Transportation

Ann Davis was transported on the Lady Shore, departing 31st Jan 1797 and arriving 28th Aug 1797 with 69 passengers.

1797 - August. Mutiny on board. Did not arrive in Australia. Fate of the Female Prisoners There were sixty-four young female convicts on board, and when they arrived at Monte Vido, it not being customary for Europeans to do any work, they were taken under the care of the female inhabitants who provided them with Spanish dresses, and made them their companions. some of the women conducted themselves with a deal of propriety and are married and settled there - some to the inhabitants and some to American Captains. Several of them behaved in a very loose and disorderly manner, and were in consequence taken into custody, and carried before the Governor who committed them to prison at Buenos Ayres where they reformed and agreed to profess the Roman Catholic Religion [5] https://www.freesettlerorfelon.com/convict_ship_lady_shore_1797.htm
