Charles Woods, the Religious Instructor of the Blenheim (which arrived in Hobart on 31 October 1851) begins the journal with a list of the 310 Irish convicts in his charge, giving details of their county, educational and moral improvement and some general remarks: e.g., "John Clarke, Carlow, improved in reading, much changed for the better, tailoring on board." The journal also records weather, the general state of health, the progress of school work and other incidents of the voyage.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
