"The Sebastopol was a fine clipper ship that made two voyages from London, England to Lyttelton, New Zealand loaded with immigrants for the Provincial Government. From Chinese passengers staging a mutiny, to the suicide of a ship's surgeon, the Sebastopol has an interesting past. Extensive research has uncovered the ship's final demise after leaving New Zealand in 1863, which ended its short career.
This is the first time the full story of the Sebastopol has been told, with the most accurate passenger lists available for the Sebastopol journeys."
Includes summaries of both journeys to New Zealand, what happened after the journeys to some of the passengers and crew and includes passenger biographies. A great read for those who have ancestors on the ship or people with a love of New Zealand history! This book has referenced 115 different sources and has a lot of good information! Please buy it so I can get my next ship book published!!
