Bound for Botany Bay
The story of the first fleet, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip.
It begins in England with the British government desperate to alleviate their overcrowded prisons by establishing a new colony at Botany Bay. With the hardships faced by the fleet, it was one of the greatest maritime expeditions ever.
Filmed on location in Portsmouth and at the fleet's ports of call. Written and presented by historian Dr Jonathan King, this release has been especially edited for classroom use. A comprehensive Education Guide is included.
