This book analyses British action in the Southern hemisphere in
the late 18th century, examining two Royal Navy ships, one off the
Argentinean coast and one off the Southeast Australian coast. The
author goes beyond a descriptive analysis of wrecks by treating
them and their cargoes as embodiments of 18th century social
relations. The book challenges traditional approaches, providing a
perspective that emphasises the richness, diversity and complexity
of British action.
