In the first fleet there were 11 ships. The ship that I'm doing is called The Golden Grove. The Golden Grove is a storage ship, it has food and water, the storage ship was very important because the amount of food it carried it would last for about two years.

The Golden Grove was made in 1788 in Whitby. The Golden Grove was not only a storage ship it transported twenty one male convicts and eleven female convicts on the 2nd of October 1788. Also on board was the master of the ship called William Sharp. The fleets chaplain [Priest Minister] Richard Johnson and his wife and servant were also passengers on board. All First Fleet ships also carried crewmen, Marines[Navy people]and doctors

Storage Ships such as the Golden Grove carried items such as food and water for survival. It also carried tools, building materials, clothes, plant seeds, furniture and even a portable canvas house for the Governor. Without these storage ships the First Fleet would not be able to make its voyage successfully.
