Robin Haines’ Doctors at Sea charts the perilous trans-ocean voyages that carried emigrants to colonial Australia, spotlighting the forgotten shipboard surgeons who battled scurvy, storms and cramped quarters. This 2005 illustrated hardcover brings the era to life through diaries, logs and rare images, making maritime and medical history feel vividly human.

Ideal for collectors of Australian history or nautical biography, the 248-page volume arrives with its original dust jacket and crisp, unmarked pages. A tidy previous-owner name on the front pastedown is the only trace of its journey; otherwise the binding is tight and corners sharp.

The book is inscribed, though not signed by the author, adding a personal touch without premium pricing. From a smoke-free home and carefully stored, it’s ready to grace a shelf or accompany your own voyage of discovery into colonial medicine and migration.
