Mundle does it again Another fantastic read from Rob Mundle his ability to put the reader on the deck is a true gift. His books give the feeling that you are a part of history and can almost feel the sea spray on your face. Nov 24, J rated it really liked it. Brilliant - I knew the Dutch and Spanish has explored Australia and certainly had known of Dampier but this book really fills in the gaps. What an amazing life Dampier had and how different Australia would be today if the Dutch had been less economically focused. Feb 19, Robert Williams rated it it was amazing Shelves: history. Absolutely superb book, simply loved it. Nov 03, Marty rated it it was amazing Shelves: , non-fiction. A particularly interesting piece of world history, told an interesting and engaging way. Really enjoyed it. Dec 12, Peter Griffin rated it really liked it. Once again Mundle makes history engaging and fascinating for all non-sailors. Highly recommended! Apr 11, Shawn Stone rated it really liked it Shelves: history. But did you know that over years before the birth of Christ, the Ancient Egyptians were perhaps the first maritime explorers to come close to discovering mainland Australia and may have made contact with the inhabitants of certain surrounding islands? Mundle, an avid life long mariner and author of 14 naval themed histories, knows his way around a nautical tale. While lacking the narrative punch and detail of equally prolific fellow Aussie hisorian, Peter Fitzsimmons, this is still a satisfying work which adequately covers the centenary of exploration prior to British settlement of the East Coast in Mundle primarily focuses on the exploits and misadventures of the Dutch traders who inadvertendly stumbled upon this Southern Land either by accident or naval misfortune. All of the stories Mundle recounts are fascinating in their own right and give a great overview of this little mentioned period of European exploration. I want to read more of Mundle in the future, and hope he explores some of his material here in greater detail. Feb 28, Deb rated it really liked it. I really liked this. So much information on the early exploration of Australia. Jul 31, Dulcie rated it liked it. Really interesting. Sep 12, Salve58 added it.

Escape the Present with These 24 Historical Romances. Between and , while the British had their hands full with the Gunpowder Plot and the English Civil War, it was highly skilled Dutch seafarers who, by design, chance or shipwreck, discovered and mapped the majority of the vast, unknown waters and land masses in the Indian and Southern Oceans. This is the setting that sees Rob Mundle back on the water with another sweeping and powerful account of Australian maritime history. It is the story of 17th-century European mariners - sailors, adventurers and explorers - who became transfixed by the idea of the existence of a Great South Land: 'Terra Australis Incognita'. Rob takes you aboard the tiny ship, Duyfken , in when Dutch navigator and explorer, Willem Janszoon, and his man crew became the first Europeans to discover Australia on the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. In the decades that followed, more Dutch mariners, like Hartog, Tasman, and Janszoon for a second time , discovered and mapped the majority of the coast of what would become Australia. Yet, incredibly, the Dutch made no effort to lay claim to it, or establish any settlements.

Spanish witnesses saw the predominantly English crew as not only pirates and heretics but also cannibals. On 5 January , Cygnet "anchored two miles from shore in 29 fathoms" on the northwest coast of Australia, near King Sound. They obtained a small canoe which they modified after first capsizing and then, after surviving a great storm at sea, called at "Acheen" Aceh in Sumatra. Dampier returned to England in via the Cape of Good Hope , penniless but in possession of his journals and a tattooed slave known as Jeoly. Originally from Miangas , Jeoly and his mother were captured by slavers and brought to Mindanao. They were bought for sixty dollars by one Mister Moody, who later passed on ownership to Dampier. When his mother, died Jeoly was inconsolable and wrapped himself in his dead mother's clothes. Dampier claimed in his diaries that he became close with Jeoly, however, eager to earn money, he sold Jeoly to business interests in London where he was exhibited at the Blue Boar Inn on Fleet Street. He died of smallpox three months later. Numerous false stories about the tattooed man were afterwards written, including his title as "Prince Giolo". The publication of the book, A New Voyage Round the World , in was a popular sensation, creating interest at the Admiralty. The expedition set out on 14 January , too late in the season to attempt the Horn, so it headed to New Holland via the Cape of Good Hope instead. He landed and began producing the first known detailed record of Australian flora and fauna. The botanical drawings that were made are believed to be by his clerk, James Brand. Dampier then followed the coast north-east, reaching the Dampier Archipelago and Lagrange Bay , just south of what is now called Roebuck Bay , all the while recording and collecting specimens, including many shells. Then he sailed east and on 3 December rounded New Guinea, which he passed to the north. En route, he paused to collect specimens such as giant clams. By this time, Roebuck was in such bad condition that Dampier was forced to abandon his plan to examine the east coast of New Holland while less than a hundred miles from it. In danger of sinking, he attempted to make the return voyage to England, but the ship foundered at Ascension Island on 21 February As a result, the vessel had to be run aground. Although many papers were lost with Roebuck , Dampier was able to save some new charts of coastlines, and his record of trade winds and currents in the seas around Australia and New Guinea. He also preserved a few of his specimens. Many plant specimens were donated to the Fielding-Druce Herbarium part of the University of Oxford , and in September , they were then loaned to Western Australia for the year celebration. On his return from the Roebuck expedition, Dampier was court-martialled for cruelty. Fisher returned to England and complained about his treatment to the Admiralty. Dampier aggressively defended his conduct, but he was found guilty. His pay for the voyage was reduced, and he was dismissed from the Royal Navy. According to records held at the UK's National Archives , [26] the Royal Navy court martial held on 8 June involved the following three charges:. The War of the Spanish Succession had broken out in , and English privateers were being readied to act against French and Spanish interests. Dampier was appointed commander of the gun ship St George , with a crew of men. They were joined by the gun Cinque Ports with 63 men, and sailed on 11 September from Kinsale , Ireland. Dampier succeeded in capturing a number of small Spanish ships along the coast of Peru, but released them after removing only a fraction of their cargoes because he believed they "would be a hindrance to his greater designs. When the force of seamen he led against the town met with unexpectedly strong resistance, however, he withdrew. Some of its crew survived being shipwrecked but were made prisoners of the Spanish. It was now left to the St George to make an attempt on the Manila galleon , the main object of the expedition. It was caught unprepared and had not run out its guns. But while Dampier and his officers argued over the best way to mount an attack, the galleon got its guns loaded and the battle was joined. The St George soon found itself out-sized by the galleon's and pounders , and, suffering serious damage, they were forced to break off the attack. The failure to capture the Spanish galleon completed the break-up of the expedition. Dampier, with about thirty men, stayed in the St George , while the rest of the crew took a captured barque across the Pacific to Amboyna in the Dutch settlements. The undermanned and worm-damaged St George had to be abandoned on the coast of Peru. He and his remaining men embarked in a Spanish prize for the East Indies, where they were thrown into prison as pirates by their supposed allies the Dutch but later released. In , Dampier was engaged to serve on the privateer Duke , not as captain but as sailing master. They stopped at Guam before arriving in Batavia. Following a refit at Horn Island near Batavia and the sale of one of their prize ships, they sailed for the Cape of Good Hope where they remained for more than three months awaiting a convoy.

Dampier may not have lived to receive all of his share of the expedition's gains. His will was proven on 23 March , and it is generally assumed he died earlier that month, but this is not known with any certainty. In tune with common European perceptions and prejudices of his time, on page of his journal A New Voyage Around The World , Dampier depicted the first inhabitants of Australia as the "miserabilist" people he had ever seen, "differing little from brutes".
