In 1791, the Queen was the first convict ship to take convict women directly from Ireland. It was a time of intense unrest, and the ruling class and the state dealt swiftly with crime of any kind. Transportation provided one solution for dealing with rebels, law breakers and the troublesome poor and it became increasingly so as the labour of convicts could be used to fuel the development of the new Australian colonies.
