Abstract:
An important journal of the flagship of the First Fleet bringing convicts to the founding settlement of Australia, this facsimile of the original manuscript and watercolours is a very valuable contribution to the early history of the settlement. The journal
is penned in a clear and legible hand. Bradley was on the Sirius on her voyage to the Cape of Good Hope for supplies, which went eastwards and around Cape Horn, meeting in these high latitudes the 'ice islands' amongst which they sailed for twenty-eight days. His illustrations include two fine watercolours of these 'ice islands'. He also recounts the wreck of the 'Sirius' at Norfolk Island and the subsequent story of the crew during their eventual return to England on a chartered Dutch vessel.
