Trama

Quarantined! is about the first full ship to bring Irish family migrants to Australia. When the Lady Macnaghten set sail from Cork Harbour in October 1836 it contained over 400 emigrants, including 80 single women. When the ship limped into Sydney Harbour in February 1837, disease was raging on board and the immigrants and crew were dying from typhoid.
