A simple question hopefully. Why are so many convicts listed as arriving on the Scarborough and Surprize (sometimes including the Neptune) rather than on one of the boats?

Thanks for that. I suspected as much but could not find a reference on the Internet to confirm my suspicion. Good to have a question resolved in one response.
