Description

Thomas Dames' life was marked by hardship and struggle, but it's his story that is truly remarkable. As a child, he turned to petty crime to survive in poverty-stricken Nottingham during the Georgian era.

Apprehended by the law on multiple occasions, Thomas faced frequent run-ins with the judiciary before being sentenced to transportation to Western Australia. This incredible tale reveals not one, but two journeys on the convict ship Lincelles, a three-month ordeal of brutality and privation that would test his resolve.

This is the story as it was unearthed by Lynne Morley, painstakingly recreated here in a narrative that's both heart-wrenching and hard to believe. As the author notes, Thomas' life was so tragic, it feels more like fiction than fact.
