When insufficient Britons applied the Australian government looked to Italy and Greece and then to refugee camps across Europe. This book looks at the ships that brought these migrants to Australia - some that were never designed to carry passengers or to travel great distances - and their place in maritime and Australian history.

Pioneers of the Pacific aims to correct this imbalance through the voyages of exploration that continued Cooks work of charting the Pacific. These voyages, by William Bligh, George Vancouver, Matthew Flinders, La Perouse and Arthur Phillip, span a time that saw Britain become the worlds leading maritime power.

This is a detailed account of how a chance brush with the past turns to deepening obsession; how an unschooled novice takes on an entrenched establishment, and often stuffy views, in a bid to help families of the 645 lost sailors win closure. McDonalds struggle to piece together a labyrinth of facts, theories and, in many cases, elusive false trails makes for compelling reading in this densely woven account. Strange cryptograms, hearsay and new evidence from German survivors of the catastrophe add momentum to a tale of hope, disappointment, and contradiction.
