MARITIME West Australiana –

“Incorporating the sixth edition of Memories of Maritime Albany”

First Edition.

A captivating local history book co-authored by Les Douglas and Gordon de L. Marshall. It documents Western Australia’s early coastal development through the eyes of those who navigated its rugged waters. [1, 2]

The book explores the isolated, hard-working days of the late 1800s to just before World War II. Key highlights from the region’s rich maritime past include: 
  • Shipwrecks & Mysteries: Details the wreck of the Sarah Burnyeat (the best-preserved 19th-century wooden hull in WA) and the baffling disappearance of the SS Waratah in 1909.
  • Local Vessels: Features the history of the schooner Grace Darling and the Silver Star ferry.
  • Pioneer Operations: Chronicles the last days of Albany as a major port and the small craft that braved the harsh south-west coast.
