Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white & colour text-photos, maps, glossy paper, minor edgewear, written word front free flyleaf. 167 pp. Graeme Henderson and Myra Stanbury relate the story of HMS Sirius of the First Fleet. Built as the Baltic trading ship Berwick in 1780-81, the Sirius is known to most Australians as the principal naval consort to the First Fleet. Her epic voyage to Botany Bay completed, the Sirius made another lengthy journey in 1788, through ice and storms to Cape Town to fetch supplies for the struggling colony. Her career, charted in this book, ended abruptly in 1790. During the first stage of a voyage to China, again to buy desperately-needed supplies, she struck a reef in Sydney Bay, Norfolk Island. In 1983 maritime archaeologists organised diving expeditions to the wreck site to recover what remained of the vessel. (Publication assisted by the Australian Bicentennial Authority.).

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. In 1771, two young, ambitious, French naval officers and Breton nobles, Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen and his second-in-commandLouis de Saint Alouarn, were given permission by the King of France, Louis XV, to undertake a voyage to discover and claim in the name of France, Terres Australes. 1772: The French Annexation of New Holland is a story of this epic voyage; a retelling of a chapter of Australian history whose significance has failed to attract the recognition it deserves.

During this timeÂit once again operated from 1949 until 1957 when operations moved to a Carnarvon based station.âTodayÂthe foundations of the many buildings still remain at the site amongst the rusted and twisted remains of the oil holding tanks, various boilers and machinery used for Âprocessing ofÂthe whale oil.
