Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners. Minor marks on front and back covers. White blank sticker on back cover.
The Brig Amity sailed into King George Sound on Christmas Day 1826, carrying men to establish the first British settlement in Western Australia - a settlement that became the town of Albany.
The new Amity, a full scale and authentic reproduction of the original vessel was built and berthed within a few metres of where those first pioneers stepped ashore. Few towns can boast such a fitting memorial.
Author Les Johnson is a journalist, historian and former seaman, long resident in the Albany district. (back cover)
