Diaries written by two great-great uncles as they sailed from Liverpool to Melbourne in 1854, together with a copy of the Daily Sick Book and Synopsis written by their father, Dr John Patchell, on a journey, as the ship’s surgeon, from Dublin to Sydney in 1839 provided Joan Robins with a wealth of information as she researched her family history. She will use extracts from these documents to describe life at sea under sail for migrants travelling to Australia in the mid eighteen hundreds.
