Description:
Hodder, 2001. Softcover. Very Good +. BOATS MARITIME AUSTRALIANAThis riveting work of rediscovered history tells for the first time the plight of the female convicts aboard the Lady Julian, which set sail from England in 1789 and arrived in Australia's Botany Bay a year later. The women, most of them petty criminals, were destined for New South Wales to provide its hordes of lonely men with sexual favours as well as progeny. But the story of their voyage is even more incredible, and here it is expertly told by a historian with roots in the boatbuilding business and a true love of the sea.Sian Rees delved into court documents and firsthand accounts to extract the stories of these women's experiences on board a ship that both held them prisoner and offered them refuge from their oppressive existence in London. At the heart of the story is the passionate relationship between Sarah Whitelam, a convict, and the ship's steward, John Nicol, whose personal journals provided much of the material for this…

Description:
Hodder & Stoughton, Sydney, NSW, Australia, 2001. Reprint. Softcover. Good/No Dust Jacket. 400 g.; VIII, 248 pages, paperback binding illustrated, 12 pages of black-and-white plates, map showing the voyage of the Lady Julian, bibliography, index. There is no damage to report. "Not much attempt had been made to enforce discipline among the women, many of them London prostitutes, who had turned the ship into a floating brothel at her various ports of call." Such is the general view of the voyage of the Lady Julian from England to the new colony of New South Wales, transporting more than 200 convict women, mainly taken from London's fever-ridden, overcrowded Newgate gaol. The reality was both more complex and more interesting, dramatically different from the well-known stories of hellish journeys to Australia. The women aboard the Lady Julian arrived in Australia healthier and happier than they had ever been before. -- rear panel blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾"…
