Annie, Lady Brassey was a very popular Victorian author. She
travelled with her husband, Thomas and their four children aboard
their yacht, the Sunbeam. Their eleven month sailing trip around
the world in 1876-7 was inmortalized in Anna's book "A Voyage in
the Sunbeam." The book ran through many English editions and was
translated into many other languages. During her travels, lady
Brassey collected many objects of the different cultures they
visited. Her large collection of ethnographic and natural history
objects were originally shown in a museum at her London house but
they were moved eventually to Hastings Museum in 1919. Annie
Brassey spent the last ten years of her life mainly at sea. She
died suddenly of malaria on the way home from India and Australia
in 1887 and was buried at sea at the age of 48.
