Encounters with cannibals, convicts and pirates were just some of the highlights of eleven long journeys under sail Captain George Bayly made around the world in the early nineteenth century.The journal Captain Bayly kept of his travels is notable for the historical significance of his voyages, and the writer's eye for a good story.
