Arrival in Western Australia

After an 89-day voyage, the Hougoumont arrived in Fremantle on 10 January 1868, ending transportation to Western Australia.
The 89-day passage was largely uneventful, with one convict death. The ship docked at Fremantle, Western Australia, on 10 January 1868. This arrival concluded the transportation of convicts to Western Australia, which had begun in 1850, though other penal forms persisted in other colonies.
