John Washington Price was the surgeon of the transport Minerva which sailed from Cork to Sydney in 1799 carrying 200 convicts. His journal is lively, copious and detailed. Price was an acute observer of people and his journal is full of minutiae about convicts, sailors and soldiers, and of the flora and fauna encountered along the way.
