Immigration	December 14, 1801 (aged 4 years) Sydney Cove, Greater Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Source: The Collits family [Online]. Text: Pierce Collitts, a convict was transported aboard the ship Minorca. Wife Mary and her two daughters must have also arrived on board the Minorca, as there were 11 women and 26 children on board. However, no lists of passengers survive. According to the 1822 Census, Mary, Sarah and Maria all came free by ship Minerva. In actual fact, it was the "Minorca" not Minerva. This error is also evident in the 1828 Census. The "Minorca" set sail from Spithead for Port Jackson on 21st June, 1801 in the company of two other transports - the "Canada" and "Nile". The ship carried a total of 195 people on board and only two (convicts) did not survive the voyage. The "Minorca" arrived at Sydney Cove on 14th December, 1801, having sailed via Rio de Janiero, where it took on fresh supplies.
