A biography of unprecedented expedition under sail The role of the sailor
through history should never be underestimated. Over centuries battles were won
and new lands discovered and settled by their skills and nerve. Rob Mundle is
back on the ocean to tell one of the great stories of an expedition under sail:
the extraordinary eight-month, 17-000-nautical mile voyage of the First Fleet.
With customary sweep and swell, Mundle puts you alongside 48-year-old Captain
Arthur Phillip on the quarterdeck of the Royal Navy escort, HMS Sirius, as he
commands his small armada of 11 ships, carrying over 1420 men, women and
children, to the other side of the world.
