Sobre este artículo
Basingstoke, Hamps: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005. 1st ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white illustrations, map, tables, minor edgewear jacket (light foxing reverse side). 248 pp. This book is both a history and the story of the doctors who looked after the emigrants on the voyages to Colonial Australia. The doctors not only had medical duties but also presided over courts of law on board as they punished wayward emigrants, as meted out by a jury made up of their peers. The doctors saved lives by looking after the daily sanitary and hygiene routines on board. Less than 2% of emigrants were buried at sea because of the efforts of the doctors to control and regulate their civilian populations at sea.
