1971 The Trading Voyages Of Andrew Cheyne 1841-1844 Maritime History Book

The Trading Voyages Of Andrew Cheyne 1841-1844
By Dorothy Shineberg
Published by Australian National University Press: Canberra 1971
1st Edition With Dustjacket

" The Trading Voyages of Andrew Cheyne 1841-1844 by Dorothy Shineberg is a meticulous account of the voyages undertaken by the Scottish mariner Andrew Cheyne along the northern coasts of Australia during the early 1840s. Edited by Shineberg, this work draws on Cheyne's detailed logs, correspondence, and firsthand accounts to reconstruct the commercial and navigational challenges of the period. The narrative provides insights into trade practices, interactions with Indigenous communities, and the broader economic and maritime context of the nascent Australian colonies. The author situates Cheyne's ventures within the developing framework of coastal trade, shedding light on the risks and rewards of trading along the remote northern coastline.

The book is a scholarly yet accessible work, part of the Pacific History Series (No. 3), published by the Australian National University Press in Canberra in 1970. This first edition includes a dustjacket, clean and intact, offering a clear typographical presentation of the title and author, along with a stylised maritime emblem that echoes the subject of Cheyne's voyages. The work is thoroughly documented with maps, appendices, and references to original sources, enhancing its value for both historians and collectors. It stands as a notable contribution to the study of Australian maritime history and the dynamics of coastal trade during the early colonial period.

This edition will appeal to collectors of Australian maritime history, researchers of 19th-century trading ventures, and anyone interested in the historical navigation of northern Australia. Its combination of first-hand narrative, rigorous scholarship, and attractive presentation make it a compelling addition to private libraries and academic collections alike."
