Charles Dickens' Australia: Selected Essays from Household Words 1850-1859 : Book Five: Maritime Conditions
Charles Dickens
This volume has stories about the unsafe, damp and cramped living conditions at sea endured by emigrants and sailors alike. The articles highlight the need to improve the desperate conditions and the need for a faster route for ships to travel. There is also a whaling story that paints a vivid picture of a whale chase in the hazardous waters south of Hobart.
