About This Item
Sydney: Collins, 1988 Built as the Baltic trading ship Berwick in 1780-81, the HMS Sirius is known to most Australians as the principal naval consort to the First Fleet. Her epic voyage to Botany Bay completed, her career ended abruptly when she struck a reef in Sydney Bay off Norfolk Island on the first stages of a voyage to China for much needed supplies. In 1983 maritime archaeologists began to dive on the wreck site. 167pp illustrated in colour. Signed by both authors and with a letter from one thanking the assistance of the Assistant Keeper of the Museum in Docklands Project, London.
