![The Wreck of the Neva – The Horrifying Fate of a Convict Ship and the Irish Women Aboard | Cal McCarthy & Kevin Todd | 2024 [NEW – HCDJ]](https://onlinestore.bookcellar.com.au/images/T/wreck-of-the-neva-JwyOcU.png "The Wreck of the Neva – The Horrifying Fate of a Convict Ship and the Irish Women Aboard | Cal McCarthy & Kevin Todd | 2024 [NEW – HCDJ]")
On 8 January 1835 the Neva sailed from Cork carrying 241 people — mostly Irish women convicts and the wives and children of convicts already transported, travelling to join their families in New South Wales. On 13 May 1835 the ship struck a reef just north of King Island in Bass Strait and sank. Of the 241 aboard, 224 drowned — one of the worst convict ship disasters in Australian history.
