Promises something for everyone…

Imagine the Love Boat but there are whores and more alcohol then Isaac could humanly serve ever. There are more fights then the Oasis brothers have had in their lifetime.

And they are all going to Australia:

Violence, drunkenness and all manner of debauchery featured on a six-month voyage on a migrant ship bound for Australia 170 years ago, a newly discovered diary reveals.

The raunchy tale of anarchy on the high seas is recorded by a junior officer, James Bell, aboard “The Planter” which sailed to Adelaide from Deptford in east London in 1838.

In the green vellum-bound journal, Bell tells how the captain regularly entertained two of the 11 daughters of a doctor-preacher from Liverpool called McGowan.

He wrote: “our captain of course could not want a mistress till he returned to his own in England, but made love to two of McGowan’s daughters … The Capt was allowed to keep the daughters company at all hours, and during the whole time of our being in warm weather our bed on deck sufficed for all three.”

Bell, whose 225-page diary goes up for sale at auction in London next month after being bought in a market stall for a pittance, said his crew were no better.

“Such an example was soon followed up by all the ship’s company but particularly by the three mates (who) carried immorality to a glaring height.”

Bell told how they blatantly took up with a band of prostitutes in search of a better life in the colonies.

If that ship was the Pacific Princess Captain Stubing would be sleeping with two of Doc’s eleven daughters. Vicki and Julie would be leading a band of prostitutes and taking up with some of the other officers. Gopher would be throwing down with Ace, whose arrival signals the jumping of the shark moment of the voyage by the way.

Bell summed up the Debauchery Boat the best, however when he said:

“With all this whoring and drunkenness, it is amazing this ship ever arrived in Australia.”
