A landmark volume about the experience of migration from the United Kingdom to Australia during the nineteenth century. Through the letters and diaries of those on board we glimpse the details of everyday ship life, share in the writers' hopes for the future and their grief over children buried at sea.
This wonderfully rich and moving book provides new insight into the lives of those who migrated from the United Kingdom during the nineteenth century. It evocatively describes the experiences of emigrants in steerage on their passage to Australia, and of those charged with their care.
