As an island colony and later state of the Commonwealth of Australia, Tasmania has always been fundamentally dependent on shipping services to connect it with the outside world. However, lying in the path of the winds known as the 'Roaring Forties', the waters around Tasmania have proved treacherous to mariners. Since the wreck of the Sydney Cove in 1797, over 1000 vessels of all sizes are known to have been lost in Tasmanian waters. Studies carried out by the authors have gathered a wealth of material on these shipwrecks. Based on original documents, Tasmanian Shipwrecks: Volume 1 is a comprehensive account of the circumstances of these losses up until the end of the 19th century.
