Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Did you know that Australias first industry was not founded on the sheeps back but rather in the deep southern waters off Tasmania? This fascinating account traces the daring do of Colonial mariners who hunted seals across the Fishery to the point of extinction. From 1798, when an excited Charles Bishop arrived at the Sydney wharves with a boat heaving with seal skins, gangs from various nations voyaged to the remote and dangerous islands, pursuing skins and oil. Masters employed by Sydney traders captained sealers who were fuelled by hope of making a living from the sea. Some crews thumbed their noses at mainstream operators and set up independently. Most only survived with the help of the First Nations people, who had hunted seals for generations. Mariners on the Margins is the first such narrative exposing the full story of this industry. Through his extensive research, David Prior gives you rare insights into a neglected chapter of Australias history. From respectable ship owners like Robert Campbell to daring pirates like Black-Jack Anderson, this book presents a range of personalities living marginal lives, when greed and competition almost led to the extinction of the seals. Be transported into a maritime world full of intrigue and suspense as you navigate the rise and decline of a roller coaster industry. A history of the maritime trade in seals and other mammals to the point of extinction by competing national groups during colonial times in Australia. This item is printed on demand.
