In February 1839 the largest successful escape from Port Arthur occured. Eight me succeeded in making their getaway in broad daylight.

This is the tale of their incredilble exploit, of their 1,000 mile journey in an open whale-boat, as told directly from the surviving documents.

It is the most remarkable escape story in Van Diemen's Land convict history.
