The Escape - David McIntyre + Henry Craig (Birdcage of the Bay: St Helena Island Prison)

One of the biggest escape panics during the years St Helena Prison was operational was when two prisoners, Henry Craig and David McIntyre escaped from the hospital. Repeat offenders Henry Craig and David McIntyre understood prison systems and planned their escape well. Arranging to be in the less secure hospital, they broke out at 4am and hid in the Tailor's Shop roof. For 11 days they ‘suffered greatly’ from heat and thirst while all of Australia was on alert. Finally they crept out at night to the boatshed, where neither boat was able to be launched. Defeated, they turned themselves in having never left the island. --- The St Helena Stockade contains so many incredible stories from the prisoners and the warders who lived and worked there. Birdcage of the Bay: St Helena Island Prison invites guests to step into the 'Birdcage', the name given to the visitor box on the island, to experience stockade and life on the island. Birdcage of the Bay: St Helena Island Prison is a free exhibition at Queensland State Archives, on display until September 2019.
