Volume 1 (1797 – 1899)
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 1,000 vessels of all sizes are known to have been lost in Tasmanian waters up to the present day.
