In this ninth volume of his celebrated series, Dacre Smyth presents a rich tapestry of paintings, poetry, and prose that chronicles the bold and often harrowing voyages of immigrants who crossed the world's great oceans to forge new lives in Australia — each vessel carrying not just passengers, but hopes, fears, and irreplaceable stories.\n\nSmyth's work stands as a significant contribution to Australian maritime and social history, weaving together visual art and literary expression to illuminate the immigrant experience in a way that purely historical accounts cannot. With a foreword by Marten A. Syme, President of the Australian Association for Maritime History, this volume carries the weight of scholarly endorsement while remaining deeply human and accessible. The result is a moving cultural document that asks the reader to consider what courage — and what desperation — it truly takes to leave everything behind and sail toward an unknown horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210241974491,"sku":"2026200013970-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5724999f-4a92-4c5a-9c47-11c47ad05d8a.png?v=1788267896","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013970-secondhand-immigrant-ships-to-australia-a-ninth-book-of-paintings-poetry-and-prose","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
