Health, medicine, and the sea
During the nineteenth century, over 1.5 million migrants set sail from the British Isles to begin new lives in the Australian colonies. This book follows these people on a fascinating journey around half the globe to give a rich account of the creation of lay and professional medical knowledge in an ever-changing maritime environment. It shows how voyages to Australia partook of colonialism. On leaving the ports, estuaries, and harbours of Britai…
White Men in Quarantine
In July 1872, the steamship Hero underwent quarantine at Sydney's North Head after a case of smallpox was diagnosed. This article brings together the histories of quarantine, white subjectivity and Pacific mobility through an analysis of the Loganiana newspaper produced by the passengers of the Hero during their confinement. The Loganiana provides a unique insight into the formation of white identities through discussions of race, commerce, scien…
Lascars and Indian Ocean Seafaring, 1780–1860
Aaron Jaffer’s fascinating book examines daily life and mutiny on East India Company and ‘country’ ships (privately owned merchant vessels not allowed to trade with Europe before 1813, when the EIC lost its monopoly) in the era of sail, from the late eighteenth century to the end of Company rule following the Great Rebellion. This period, and these country ships in particular, Jaffer explains, made an important contribution to British expansionis…

Madness in the Family
From Convicts to Colonists
From 1815, naval surgeons accompanied all convict voyages from Britain and Ireland to the Australian colonies. As their authority grew, naval surgeons on convict ships increasingly used their medical observations about the health of convicts to make pointed and sustained criticisms of British penal reforms. Beyond their authority at sea, surgeons' journals and correspondence brought debates about penal reform in Britain into direct conversation w…
Fever, Immigration and Quarantine in New South Wales, 1837-1840
Between 1837 and 1841, the New South Wales colonial government quarantined fifteen British and Irish ships, all for typhus. The article argues that the voyage destabilised the medical identity of fevers in general and typhus in particular. Yet, the political significance of the disease travelled intact, and fed directly into broader contemporary political debates in the Australian colonies about poverty, immigration and their political relationsh…
Interpreting the Tropical Atlantic Climate
This article analyses representations of the tropical Atlantic and its climate in diaries written during sailing voyages from Britain to the Australian colonies in the middle third of the nineteenth century. It argues that writers employed a wide range of formal and informal knowledge about weather and climate to evaluate the physical experience of sailing through the maritime tropics. These interpretive frames include geographical conventions of…
