FAS Convict Ship 358.25 Sir Charles Forbes arrived 1825 at VDL Prosopography Index

This collection provides a complete list of convict names and sufficient biographical data to enable unambiguous identification of convicts who were disembarked from convict ship "Sir Charles Forbes" at Van Diemen's Land on 1825-04-18

This includes, where known, an estimation of the year of birth, place of birth, where and when convicted, the sentence, the date of arrival in the colony and the convict's age on arrival. The brief convict biographical data provided in this collection serves as an index into the far more extensive set of life course events which are recorded in the prosopgraphy database built by the Founders and Survivors project.

Basic details for this ship:
* ship name (as known in VDL records): Sir Charles Forbes
* sailed date : 1825-01-05 from P'smouth
* arrival date : 1825-04-18
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:130 Men ; Deaths:2 Men ; Landed:128(VDL) Men

Data for convicts listed in this collection comes from the source which has been determined by Founders and Survivors to form the "base population" for this ship. Further information as to the methodology and the linkage of multiple sources is detailed in the narrative format of the collection. The matching and linkage of additional sources about Tasmanian convict's is the subject of ongoing research. This collection may be repuplished regularly, and in additional formats and with specific user interfaces, to enable public participation in the quality of convict matching and linkage -- see for example the EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm format for this collection.
Linkage for ships arriving at Norfolk Island and Port Philip is incomplete.

This ship's prosopography index is published in a directory named "358.25" (the ship's project id). Three three different file formats provided:
-- (default; suitable for web browsing) HTML: world wide web hypertext markup language format which provides a "narrative" view of the collection (index.htm); and
-- (structured prosopgraphy: persons and events) XML / TEIp5 : Text Encoding Initiative (version p5) XML format which provides the underlying XML database for this collection (index.xml); and
-- [Not yet available] (row/column flat) simple list of convict names in a flat file, tab delimited, suitable for Excel, Stata, SPSS or database usage (index.tab). See notes below.

本数据集收录了完整的流放犯姓名及详实的生平信息，可唯一识别1825年4月18日于范迪门斯地（Van Diemen's Land）从“查尔斯·福布斯爵士号”（Sir Charles Forbes）流放船下船的所有流放犯。

本数据集收录的信息（如可获取时）包括：出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、判决结果、抵达殖民地日期，以及流放犯抵达时的年龄。本数据集提供的简要流放犯生平信息，可作为索引，用于检索“创立者与幸存者”（Founders and Survivors）项目所构建的人物志数据库中更丰富的人生轨迹事件记录。

本流放船的基础信息如下：
* 范迪门斯地（Van Diemen's Land）档案记录中所用船名：查尔斯·福布斯爵士号（Sir Charles Forbes）
* 启航日期：1825年1月5日，始发于朴茨茅斯（Portsmouth）
* 抵达日期：1825年4月18日
* 船上人员统计（源自贝茨顿所著《流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数：130名男性；死亡人数：2名男性；登陆范迪门斯地人数：128名男性

本数据集收录的流放犯数据，源自“创立者与幸存者”（Founders and Survivors）项目认定的本艘流放船的“基准人群”数据源。关于数据处理方法及多源数据关联的更多细节，详见本数据集的叙事性说明文档。针对塔斯马尼亚流放犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作，目前仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以新增格式及专属用户界面重新发布，以吸引公众参与流放犯信息匹配与关联的质量优化工作——例如可参考本数据集的EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm格式。

针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的船只的关联工作尚未完成。

本流放船的人物志索引收录于以“358.25”（本船项目编号）命名的目录中。本数据集提供三种不同格式：
-- （默认格式，适用于网页浏览）超文本标记语言（HTML）：以“叙事”视角展示本数据集的万维网超文本格式（index.htm）；
-- （结构化人物志：人物与事件）XML/TEIp5：文本编码倡议（Text Encoding Initiative）p5版XML格式，为本数据集提供底层XML数据库（index.xml）；
-- 【暂未上线】（行列扁平化格式）制表符分隔的扁平化流放犯姓名列表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库使用（index.tab）。详见下文说明。
