In this engaging tale of movement from one hemisphere to another,
we see doctors at work attending to their often odious and
demanding duties at sea, in quarantine, and after arrival. The book
shows, in graphic detail, just why a few notorious voyages suffered
tragic loss of life in the absence of competent supervision. Its
emphasis, however, is on demonstrating the extent to which the
professionalism of the majority of surgeon superintendents, even on
ships where childhood epidemics raged, led to the extraordinary
saving of life on the Australian route in the Victorian era.
