Aprašymas

Mariners on the Margins is a fascinating account that traces the history of Colonials who hunted seals across the Fishery to the point of extinction. Most only survived with the help of First Nations people who had hunted seals sustainably for generations.

This 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 Australia's 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, motivated by greed and competition.

Be transported into a maritime world full of intrigue and suspense as you navigate the rise and decline of a roller coaster industry.
