There was a mutiny on board early in the voyage, involving about 6 women who tried to attack and beat up the ships surgeon, It seemed to have been started after resentment of a prisoner Catherine Ryan, having had her hair cut off as punishment on the orders of the surgeon, and was incited by Mr John Meach, Chief Mate, who was involved in prostitution on board the ship. The “Six Women had Created the Disturbance; their Names were Anne Russel, Catherine McManus, Ellen Meadows, Lydia Gardner, Catherine Ryan and Elizabeth Rae “ There was an enquiry later on arrival, and the charges were dismissed.
