Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback large trade, very good condition, black & white photos at rear, maps, appendices, pages lightly toned as usual, minor edgewear. 240 pp. T. R. (Tom) Frame relates the story of Garden Island, an historic island in Sydney Harbour, formerly used as a naval dockyard. It was the original home of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) from 1911. He describes the use of the island for naval purposes by the First Fleet in 1788, its seizure by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1811, the protracted negotiations that led to the Navy's return and its subsequent development as one of Australia's most important and strategically valuable naval facilities. He frankly discusses the difficulties encountered in operations with the fleet based in a large city that has enormous urban pressures. .
