Australia circumnavigated : the voyage of Matthew Flinders in HMS Investigator, 1801-1803 /edited by 'This two-volume work provides the first edited publication of Matthew Flinders's fair journals from the circumnavigation of Australia in 1801-1803 in HMS Investigator, and of the 'Memoir' he wrote to accompany his journals and charts. These are among the most important primary texts in Australian maritime history and European voyaging in the Pacific. Flinders was the first explorer to circumnavigate Australia. He was also largely responsible for giving Australia its name. His voyage was supported by the Admiralty, the Navy Board, the East India Company and the patronage of Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society. Banks ensured that the Investigator expedition included scientific gentlemen to document Australia's flora, fauna, geology and landscape features. The botanist Robert Brown, botanical painter Ferdinand Bauer, landscape artist William Westall and the gardener Peter Good were all members of the voyage. After landfall at Cape Leeuwin, Flinders sailed anti-clockwise round the whole continent, returning to Port Jackson when the ship became unseaworthy. After a series of misfortunes, including a shipwreck and a long detention at the Ile de France (now Mauritius), Flinders returned to England in 1810. He devoted the last four years of his life to preparing A Voyage to Terra Australis, published in two volumes, and an atlas. Flinders died on 19 July 1814 at the age of forty. The fair journals edited here comprise a daily log with full nautical information and 'remarks' on the coastal landscape, the achievements of previous navigators in Australian waters, encounters with Aborigines and Macassan trepangers, naval routines, scientific findings and Flinders's surveying and charting. The journals also include instructions for the voyage and some additional correspondence. The 'Memoir' explains Flinders' methodology in compiling his journals and charts and the purpose and content of his surveys. This edition has a substantial introduction and textual introduction complemented with photographic excerpts from Flinders's survey sheets, maps of the voyage and illustrations of the botanical and artistic work undertaken.'--Provided by the publisher. 2015. • BOOK • 2 copies available. 061.22HAKLUYT

Captured at sea : merchant ships captured in the south west seas of Britain in the time of Napoleon 1803 "During the Napoleonic Wars of 1803-1815 many British merchant ships were captured and their crews were imprisoned in France. The book gives a brief background of Napoleon and his war with Britain, and also the activity of the other ocuntries which upset much of British shipping at that time. The book has concentrated on the ships sailing in and out of ports in the South West seas of Britain, carrying essential cargo to British ports. Naturally, the French wanted to capture these British merchant ships. The authors who greatly assisted in finding the name of many captured ships and their captains through The Cambrian. This newspaper, which started in 1803 in Swansea and had a shipping column each Friday received knowledge of captured ships and some of those which managed to escape. There are first-hand records, written by some of these sailors, which have graphic descriptions of their hazardous voyage at sea, and their capture and imprisonment. Intensive research has revealed many details of the French prisons and their location where the men were marched to in remote parts of France, and how the men survived there. As a result of many ships being captured by the French, with extravagant loss of men's lives and vessels, the British Government made it law for ships to sail in convoys. At the same time French prisoners and later the American prisoners of war (after the War of Independence) were being sent to the Dartmoor Priston in Britain. Thers is a detailed account of that prison in this book."--Provided by the publisher. 2011. • BOOK • 1 copy available.
