The long farwell

Mehr zum Buch

Don Charlwood read more than 120 immigrant diaries kept on the long sailing ship voyages to Australia, and numerous letters the settlers wrote home. He tells about the perils, the ships and their routes, accommodation on board, surgeons and health, messing and dining, pastimes and consolations, the crew and the new shore.Winner of the NSW Premier's Literary Awards' Ethnic Affairs Commission Award in 1982.
