Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo. 248pp, index, bibliography, map, bw & col ills. A little foxing to edges and prelims. The stopry of the voyage of the Lady Julian transporting 200 women convicts to New South Wales. Dramatically different to the well-known stories of the hellish journeys to Australia, the women aboard the Lady Julian arrived healther and happier than they had ever been. According to custom each sailor was entitled to take a woman, an arrangement that brought privileges to the woman as well as relief to the men. John Nicol, steward and ships cooper for the voyage fell in love with 19 yr old Sarah Whitelam convicted of theft worth more than 51 shillings. Their child was one of several born on the voyage. What happened to them after arriving at Port Jackson is one of the many fascinating stories in this lively book. A new light on an important and under-documented corner of Australia's history.
