Australian shipwrecks. including vessels wrecked en route to or from Australia, and some strandings / Volume 1, 1622-1850 by Charles Bateson
A thoroughly comprehensive listing of all known wrecks in Australian waters beginning with the Tryal in 1622, including the notorious Dutch wrecks Vergulde Draeck and Batavia, and the loss of the First Fleet escort HMS Sirius at Norfolk island. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in Australia's maritime history.
A detailed, comprehensive overview of convict transportation to Australia and the ships used to transport them. Includes the background to transportation to Australia and a year-by-year account of the ships that sailed here.
Some of the history here was worthwhile, much wasn’t. Finished: 30.04.2021.
A good study of the convict system in Queensland
