Sorry Charles, Norfolk Island was the penal colony was set up, not Lord
Howe Island. From Wikipedia page on the island - "Lord Howe Island was
discovered on 17 February 1788 by HMS Supply, commanded by Lieutenant
Henry Lidgbird Ball, RN, who was on his way from Botany Bay to Norfolk
Island with convicts to start a penal settlement there."
Cheers,
Oops, wrong island, I should have read more closely! :-)
