Description:
New. In this engaging tale of movement from one hemisphere to another, we see doctors at work attending to their often odious and demanding duties at sea, in quarantine, and after arrival. The book shows, in graphic detail, just why a few notorious voyages suffered tragic loss of life in the absence of competent supervision. Its emphasis, however, is on demonstrating the extent to which the professionalism of the majority of surgeon superintendents, even on ships where childhood epidemics raged, led to the extraordinary saving of life on the Australian route in the Victorian era.

Description:
Basingstoke, Hamps: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white illustrations, map, tables, minor edgewear jacket (light foxing reverse side). 248 pp. This book is both a history and the story of the doctors who looked after the emigrants on the voyages to Colonial Australia. The doctors not only had medical duties but also presided over courts of law on board as they punished wayward emigrants, as meted out by a jury made up of their peers. The doctors saved lives by looking after the daily sanitary and hygiene routines on board. Less than 2% of emigrants were buried at sea because of the efforts of the doctors to control and regulate their civilian populations at sea.
