Covering the years of the gold rushes, colonial expansion, and booming international trade, the volume records hundreds of shipwrecks and maritime disasters that occurred in Australian waters. Through detailed research and engaging narrative, Loney chronicles the vessels, crews, cargoes, and often tragic circumstances surrounding these losses, providing a vivid insight into the dangers faced by sailors navigating Australia's frequently treacherous coastline.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Published by Reed in Sydney in 1980, this first edition forms part of Jack Loney's highly regarded Australian Shipwrecks series, one of the most comprehensive studies ever produced on the subject. The book examines an extraordinary period in maritime history when thousands of vessels travelled to and from Australia carrying migrants, gold seekers, coal, wool, and whale products, while coastal trade and pearling industries also expanded dramatically. Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, the work combines historical documentation with gripping accounts of storms, strandings, collisions, and disappearances that shaped Australia's maritime heritage.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Today, Australian Shipwrecks: Volume 2 remains an important and increasingly collectible reference for historians, maritime enthusiasts, genealogists, and collectors of Australiana. Jack Loney became renowned for his lifelong dedication to preserving Australia's maritime stories, and his works continue to be regarded as authoritative references within the field. Presented in original dustjacket and covering one of the most active and hazardous periods in Australian coastal shipping history, this volume is both an engrossing historical read and an essential addition to any maritime history collection.\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     Light wear to dust jacket protected with a clear plastic sleeve.
