Sarah Island

This was the most harsh of covict colonies for those that had 2nd offences. The most common punishment was 100 lashes of cat of nine tails with 7 knots in each strap intwined with lead to open the skin. This was then dipped into salt water and used. The salt caused crystals that went into open wounds. This place lasted for 12 years and produced 130 ships.Läs mer
