The Rattlesnake
HMS Rattlesnake, an aging British warship, was commissioned in 1846 to survey Australia's Great Barrier Reef and to produce the first detailed chart of the New Guinea coast. At stake was the pre-eminence of British sea power - and the ambitions of those on board. This book presents the story of a great voyage of exploration.
