A third ship, the Cygnet is preparing to set sail, bound for South Australia. This vessel along with the Duke of York and the John Pirie all remain in the English Channel. This week we continue to follow the voyage of Captain Morgan onboard the Duke of York and read of the exciting news he receives from home.

We also look at the livestock that was onboard each of the vessels and inquire into the purpose these animals had for the journey and establishment of a new colony.
