Australian shipwrecks; including vessels wrecked en route to or from Australia and some strandings

This book examines the dangerous passage undertaken by a range of sailing ships powered by wind, steam and oil which travelled between the United Kingdom and Australia and New Zealand. It examines the ships wrecked on this journey and looks at the stories of the cargoes that they carried, ranging from people in search of a new life to gold, wool and wheat
