Author Description

"Since the wreck of the Sydney Cove in 1797, over 1,000 vessels of all sizes are known to have been lost in Tasmanian waters up to the present day. Studies carried out by the authors have gathered a wealth of material on these shipwrecks. Based on original documents, this publication is the most comprehensive account to date of the circumstances of these losses up until the beginning of the 21st century. Where possible it also provides information on the present condition of the shipwreck sites."--Back cover.
