Book Reviews of The Floating Brothel : The Extraordinary True Story of an Eighteenth-Century Ship and its Cargo of Female Convicts

Book Review: ordinary people doing extraordinary things at sea
Summary: 5 Stars

Love, adventure and seafaring around the world. A little known but very real story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, at the time of the last great world discoveries. That the protagonists were often performing heroic feats against their will, as in the case of the deported prostitutes, makes the tale even more captivating. This was enjoyable reading, instructive history and made you feel like you were one of the crew!
