| This extended study is based on the story of Henry Catlin
who was sentenced to be transported in 1843. His father was also
transported on the same ship. Henry stayed and made a life for
himself in Tasmania then Australia.
We are grateful to the Freemantle and Tasmanian Museums and to Henry's decendants in Australia for the additional information they have provided and the use of materials used in the video reconstruction. The KS 3 & 4 activities are aimed at students but provide a wealth of additional information and insight to the life of a boy from a poor family in Bedford during the 19th century. |
