Full title: A Pleasant Passage: The Journals of Henry Richardson, Surgeon Superintendent Aboard the Convict Ship Sultana by Henry Richardson and edited by B Coffey

Henry Richardson, the ship's surgeon, wrote a journal in two volumes of his voyage beginning in 1859 on the convict ship Sultana, headed to Western Australia.

After fitting out at Deptford in April/May, she picked up convicts in Sheerness, Portsmouth, Portland and Plymouth, leaving on May 28, 1859, bound for the Swan River Colony.

The voyage took 82 days, and the Sultana arrived in Fremantle on August 19, 1859. At Vasse, she took on a cargo of jarrah timber and then returned to Fremantle, from where she sailed for Colombo in November. Richardson's writing gives us a contemporary view of Colonial society.
