Robertson (Shipowners) Limited : the history of a Scottish company's coasters and short-sea traders
1851
A history of the Gem Line (William Robertson (Shipowners) Ltd), founded by William Robertson in 1851. The scow Ellen was the first vessel purchased by Robertson in 1852, mainly to carry coal. Robertson expanded into sailing vessels, then steam, and was engaged in the coastal bulk trade of the British Isles. By 1900 the fleet consisted of almost forty vessels. The line was acquired by Powell Duffryn Ltd in 1970. The title includes lists of Scottish companies operating coaster fleets and the yards which built these vessels. A fleet list of sail, steam and motor vessels owned by the company is provided, organized both alphabetically and chronologically.

Navigating by the Southern Cross : a history of the European discovery and exploration of Australia /Kenneth Morgan.
"In this comprehensive study, Kenneth Morgan provides an authoritative account of European exploration and discovery in Australia. The book presents a detailed chronological overview of European interests in the Australian continent, from initial speculations about the 'Great Southern Land' to the major hydrographic expeditions of the 19th century. In particular, he analyses the early crossings of the Dutch in the 17th century, the exploits of English 'buccaneer adventurer' William Dampier, the famous voyages of James Cook and Matthew Flinders, and the little-known French annexation of Australia in 1772. Introducing new findings and drawing on the latest in historiographical research, this book situates developments in navigation, nautical astronomy and cartography within the broader contexts of imperial, colonial, and maritime history."--Provided by the publisher.

Turner's watercolour explorations 1810-1842 / Eric Shanes.
"One of the largest sections of the Turner Bequest at the Tate Gallery is a group made up of watercolour sketches, early studios for finished works, and finished and unfinished drawings. Although many of the designs appear to be abstract, Turner was not creating non-representational images but was employing a rapid "visual shorthand". These pictures remain among Turner's most popular works. This volume explains the creative process that underlies these images and the interpretive techniques which have been used to analyze them. Many of their subjects are identified and the pictures are arranged according to their subject-matter and historical purpose."--Provided by the publisher.
