Fourth Fleet (Australia)
The fourth Fleet is an unofficial term for the flow of convict ships from England to Australia in 1792. The term was coined by C.J. Smee, a historian, who has catalogued the genealogies of the First, Second and Third Fleet convicts and who used the term to group those ships that followed in the months immediately after the Third Fleet. The ships connected to the "fleet" are: *'' Pitt'' (arrived 14 February) *'' Kitty'' (arrived 6 April) *'' Royal Admiral'' (arrived 7 October) One could argue that ''Royal Admiral'' is in fact the last ship of the Third Fleet as it left only a month after the ships of that fleet.
