Michael Hogan (shipowner)

Under the command of Hogan, Marquis Cornwallis departed Cork, Ireland on 9 August 1795, carrying 163 male and 70 female convicts.

About a month into the voyage Hogan had to put down a mutiny, with the result that seven convicts and a sergeant, one of the mutineers, died of their injuries, including flogging.

Hogan settled his family in New York in 1802, but continued to trade in various ships with Valparaíso, Chile and other south Pacific ports.

In New York City Hogan had a 100-acre estate positioned along the Hudson River with 107th Street as its southern edge.

The Hogan Group of islands in Bass Strait in between the Australian mainland and Tasmania is named after him.
