https://www.amazon.com/Life-Adventures-John-Nicol-Mariner-ebook/dp/B086XGZ18S/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Para os que não conhecem ainda a história, se trata das memórias de um marinheiro nascido na Escócia que trabalhou no navio inglês Lady Juliana, enviado para a atual Austrália, no final do século 18, com a finalidade de levar mulheres para a então colônia da Nova Gales do Sul (New South Wales), e que acabou por tomar destino inusitado.

Consta que o navio fez paradas demoradas em Cabo Verde, Cabo da Boa Esperança e até no Rio de Janeiro!

Um relato verídico de inestimável valor histórico, sociológico e antropológico, uma verdadeira aventura na teia do tempo pelos meandros dramáticos de nossa torturada espécie.

Women who became “wives” of crewmembers aboard the ship could get access to better provisions and sleeping arrangements. Some women, like Elizabeth Barnsley — a wealthy and successful shoplifter convicted of theft — used their money and influence to procure better lodging and even to create business opportunities on the ship. ..."
