This unique book will greatly increase your admiration for early white settlers who dared all perils to search for better lives in Australia.
Driven from their homes by harsh conditions in Britain, these pioneering families risked death to make the long voyage to the other side of the world.
The vessels in which they came looked beautiful from afar. But in the crowded emigrant decks, conditions were often appalling, leading to much unnecessary distress and mortality.
These revelations of occurrences on board are based on diaries, letters and investigations often kept secret at the time.
The true story, most of it never before published until the appearance of this book, will particularly interest family historians and other descendants of the settlers who survived and helped to build the nation.
