The Floating Brothel: The extraordinary true story of an 18th-century ship and its cargo of female convicts - Brossura
Sinossi
In July 1789, 237 women convicts left England for Botany Bay in Australia on board a ship called The Lady Julian, destined to provide sexual services and a breeding bank for the men already there. This is the enthralling story of the women and their voyage. Based on painstaking research into contemporary sources such as letters, trial records and the first-hand account of the voyage written by the ship's steward, John Nicol, this is a riveting work of recovered history. The Floating Brothel brilliantly conjures up the sights, sounds and particularly the smells of life on board ship at the time and is populated by a cast of larger-than-life characters you will never forget.

Condizione: Muy bueno. : En julio de 1789, 237 mujeres convictas partieron de Inglaterra hacia Botany Bay en Australia a bordo de un barco llamado The Lady Julian, destinado a proporcionar servicios sexuales y un banco de cría para los hombres que ya estaban allí. Esta es la fascinante historia de las mujeres y su viaje. Basado en una investigación minuciosa de fuentes contemporáneas como cartas, registros de juicios y el relato de primera mano del viaje escrito por el mayordomo del barco, John Nicol, esta es una obra fascinante de historia recuperada. The Floating Brothel evoca brillantemente las vistas, los sonidos y, en particular, los olores de la vida a bordo del barco en ese momento y está poblado por un elenco de personajes más grandes que la vida que nunca olvidará.
