About this product

Product Information

Fast-paced, compelling and meticulously researched, this saga of American, Irish, British and Australian history is the first full telling of the voyage of the Catalpa. Setting out from New Bedford Mass., on April 29, 1875, the American whaling ship undertook a secret year-long mission of international rescue. American captain George Anthony risked his career - and his life - to liberate a group of Irishmen known as 'The Fremantle Six' from an Australian prison. They had been soldiers in the British army and each had taken the secret Fenian oath to fight for Irish independence. The Fremantle Six overcame British armed vessels and furious sea storms to make their miraculous escape with Anthony. The rescue was made without a chronometer and is considered a remarkable feat of navigation, as well as being a legendary symbol of defiance against British imperial authority.

  • Gritty and real.

    The compelling true story of Irish rebellion and the rescue from captivity from one of Australia's most notorious 19th century prisons. Well written and dark in content. An excellent companion read to Peter FitzSimon's recent The Catalpa Rescue. This book recalls what life was like at the time and of the tyranny and oppression that once pervaded the Emerald Isle. A dark chapter in the history of Anglo-Irish relations, told against a very unusual backdrop across 2 hemispheres and continents across the globe. A thoroughly enjoying and absorbing read.
