John Owen Tenerife 1787
3rd June,1787
We are now at Tenerife. It took 21 days to get here, eight convicts are already dead. On the way to the Canary Islands their was brutal storms and unusually cold weather. The weather at the Canary Islands is tropical weather. Us convicts are sometimes allowed on deck but not very much. The conditions were not pleasant but certainly could be worse .
