About this book
Passage records, checked against logbooks and captains' reports, are the backbone of Basil Lubbock's history of the sailing ships that served the British dominions under the Southern Cross. He wrote it especially for officers and seamen of the Mercantile Marine. Part I follows the emigrant ships after gold was found in Australia: Melbourne's shipping in 1851 and 1852, James Baines's Black Ball Line, the Marco Polo, Lightning, Red Jacket, Champion of the Seas and the Atlantic race between Lightning and Red Jacket. Distances are given in sea miles of 6,080 feet. Glasgow, second edition, 1921.
