Paperback trade, very good condition, black & white & colour text-photos, maps, glossy paper, minor edgewear, written word front free flyleaf. 167 pp. Graeme Henderson and Myra Stanbury relate the story of HMS Sirius of the First Fleet. Built as the Baltic trading ship Berwick in 1780-81, the Sirius is known to most Australians as the principal naval consort to the First Fleet. Her epic voyage to Botany Bay completed, the Sirius made another lengthy journey in 1788, through ice and storms to Cape Town to fetch supplies for the struggling colony.
