FAS Convict Ship 366.01 Candahar arrived 1842 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 "Candahar" at Van Diemen's Land on 1842-07-20

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): Candahar
* sailed date : 1842-04-02 from Spithead
* arrival date : 1842-07-20
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:250 Men ; Deaths:1 Men ; Landed:249(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 "366.01" (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罪犯姓名列表与充足的生平信息，可精准识别1842年7月20日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land，澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚州旧称）从“坎达哈号”（Candahar）罪犯流放船下船的所有罪犯。

该数据集收录的已知信息包括：估算出生年份、出生地、定罪地点与时间、刑罚内容、抵达流放殖民地的日期，以及罪犯抵达时的年龄。本数据集提供的精简罪犯生平信息，可作为检索“创生与存续（Founders and Survivors）”项目所构建的人物志数据库（prosopography database）中海量人生轨迹事件的索引。

本流放船的基础信息如下：
- 范迪门地档案记录中的船名：坎达哈号（Candahar）
- 起航日期：1842年4月2日，起航港为斯皮特黑德（Spithead）
- 抵达日期：1842年7月20日
- 人员统计（引自贝茨顿所著《罪犯流放船》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数：250名男性；途中死亡人数：1名男性；抵达范迪门地时幸存下船人数：249名男性。

本数据集收录的罪犯数据，来自“创生与存续（Founders and Survivors）”项目认定的该流放船“基准人群”数据源。数据集的叙事版文档中详细说明了多源数据整合的方法与关联逻辑。针对塔斯马尼亚罪犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作，目前仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以多种格式、搭配专属用户界面进行更新发布，以吸纳公众参与罪犯数据匹配与关联的质量优化工作——例如可参考本数据集的实验性关联页面（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛（Norfolk Island）与菲利普港（Port Philip）的流放船的数据关联工作尚未完成。

本流放船的人物志索引以编号为“366.01”的目录发布（该编号为该船的项目ID）。本数据集共提供三种文件格式：
1. （默认格式，适用于网页浏览）超文本标记语言（HTML, HyperText Markup Language）格式：以“叙事视图”展示数据集内容，对应文件为index.htm；
2. （结构化人物志：人物与事件）XML/TEI P5格式：文本编码倡议第5版（Text Encoding Initiative P5, TEI P5）XML格式，为本数据集的底层XML数据库，对应文件为index.xml；
3. 【尚未上线】（行列平铺格式）制表符分隔的纯文本列表格式：以纯文本文件存储罪犯姓名简表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用，对应文件为index.tab。详见下文附注。
