The 'Cumberland' is said to have left the Isle of Wight on September 30, 1845 and to have arrived in Fremantle, Western Australia on January 26, 1846. In all, she was said to have carried 25 passengers and the 12 Parkhurst boys who embarked at the Isle of Wight were among that number.

The boys were listed in Paul Buddee's book, 'Fate of the Artful Dodger' and in Andrew Gill's later work, 'Forced Labour for the West'.

The 12 'apprentices' who were transported on the 'Cumberland' are transcribed below. Four others who were sent from Millbank Prison are listed as well.
