Shortly after the first colonists arrived in Australia, the continent became the home of many Irish convicts convicted of both minor and serious crimes. The first boat from Ireland sailed in 1791 to New South Wales. The transportation of convicts continued until 1853 by which time over 160,000 had made the trip to Australia.
