The true story of ten convicts who escaped from Sarah Island — the Macquarie Harbour penal station on Tasmania's remote west coast, regarded as the most brutal of Van Diemen's Land's convict establishments — by stealing the brig they had helped to build, and sailing it across the Pacific Ocean to Chile without a map or a chronometer. The ringleader was Jimmy Porter, a resourceful and audacious schemer whose account of the escape became one of the most remarkable documents of the convict era.
