The Ashburner schooners : the story of the first shipbuilders of Barrow-in-Furness "Schooners formed the majority of sailing vessels operating out of ports on the West coast of Victorian Britain, and the Ashburner family, the first shipbuilders at Barrow, were amongst their most distinguished builders. This book presents the history of that family and the ships they built, from the launch of Lake Windermere's first passenger steamer in 1845 through until the last schooner ceased trading in 1967. It covers the whole spectrum of their activity - their construction, the coastal and deepwater trades they operated in and the men who built, owned and sailed them. [...] Around the lives of the Ashburners and their ships, the broader subject of Furness sailing ships is also presented. [...] This book will be of interest to the maritime enthusiast, but has been written with minimum of technical jargon, to suit readers interested in Victorian industrial history and the local history."--Provided by the publisher. 1991 • BOOK • 2 copies available. 629.123.135

Van Diemen's women : a history of transportation to Tasmania /Joan Kavanagh & Dianne Snowden ; foreword by Mary McAleese. "On 2 September 1845, the convict ship 'Tasmania' left Kingston Harbour for Van Diemen's Land with 138 female convicts and their 35 children. On 3 December the ship arrived in Hobart Town. While this book looks at the lives of all the women aboard, it focuses on two women in particular: Eliza Davis, who was transported from Wicklow Gaol for life for infanticide, having had her sentence commuted from death, and Margaret Butler, sentenced to seven years' transportation for stealing potatoes in Carlow. Using original records, this study reveals the reality of transportation, together with the legacy left by these women in Tasmania and beyond, and shows that perhaps, for some, this Draconian punishment was, in fact, a life-saving measure."--Back cover. 2015. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 325.254(946)-055.2
