Did you know that June 25th is Day of the Seafarer? One of our favourite "seafaring" collections is that of the Adelaide Steamship Company. Formed in 1875, it grew to become Australia's largest shipping company. We hold records of the company from the 1870s to 1980s.

A query for my Australian history network: do any of you have online copies of ship logs or company shipping records on vessels that sailed between Aus and NZ between 1829-1840? I have a colleague who is researching this area and has run out of archives due to Covid restrictions.

Have you popped into the economic history stream of #OzHA2019 yet? Rohan Howitt just gave a superb paper on the peculiar and ill-fated “company micro-state” settlement of the Auckland Islands south of New Zealand in 1849–52.

To see and understand NZ through 'the great encompassing ocean’, shaped and reshaped by indigenous mobilities, also highly recommend the full chapter: 'Native Seas and Native Seaways: The Pacific Ocean and New Zealand'.
