The Last Ladies – Female Convicts Transported on the Duchess of Northumberland 1852–1853 | Christine Woods | 2004 [USED – SC – Out of Print]

A history of the female convicts transported from England to Van Diemen's Land aboard the Duchess of Northumberland in 1852–1853 — the last convict ship to bring female prisoners to Tasmania before transportation to the colony ended. The book documents the women themselves — who they were, what brought them to transportation, and what happened to them after arrival in a colony where convict transportation was already winding down.

As the final shipment of its kind, this voyage marks the closing chapter of an era that had shaped Tasmania for half a century.This is a valuable resource for family historians tracing female convict ancestors who arrived on this specific voyage, and for anyone researching the final years of transportation to Van Diemen's Land.
