A second fleet of five ships left England - Guardian, Justinian, Surprize, Neptune, Scarborough. The Guardian struck ice, and was unable to complete the voyage. She was stocked with provisions. Only 48 people died in the first group of ships, but this time 278 died during the voyage. This time transporting the convicts was in the hands of private contractors. The ship Mary Anne and Gorgon are sometimes listed as in the 3rd Fleet but the vessels and their sources from the Australian National Archives lists them in the 2nd Fleet. The Lady Juliana, sometimes listed in the second fleet is listed in the Archives in the 1st Fleet.
Later in January 1793, a 17-year-old Horatio Hornblower reports for duty as a midshipman on the British ship Justinian.

landed in BOTANY BAY, but there was difficulty in finding a suitable site for settlement, and within days the fleet moved further north to PORT JACKSON. The actual settlement was established on SYDNEY COVE, a small bay inside Port Jackson (an extremely large natural inlet), and this is now the central business district of the city of Sydney. The Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are close by. At this time the whole of the east coast of the Australian continent was claimed by the British as NEW SOUTH WALES. The colony was later subdivided (excising the states of Tasmania, Victoria and Queensland) and the remnant part was the COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. On Federation in 1901, it became the STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES within the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, with Sydney as the capital city of NSW. Your reference for these fleets should be to Port Jackson, New South Wales. Later arrivals would probably refer to Sydney, but the two are interchangeable in the minds of most Australians.
