Summary "The Beginning of the Sea Story of Australia" by Louis Becke is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1900s. This book delves into the maritime history of Australia, focusing on the pivotal role that sailors and maritime exploration played in the country’s early colonization and development. Becke highlights that much of Australia's initial history is intertwined with the sea and the naval endeavors that laid the groundwork for the nation. In this engaging narrative, Becke recounts the struggles and triumphs of early navigators, governors, and sailors in Australia’s formative years, starting from the arrival of Captain Phillip to establish a penal colony. He illuminates the trials faced by these early settlers, detailing their explorations, food shortages, and interactions with Indigenous peoples, while also noting the significant contributions of prominent figures such as Governors Hunter, King, and Bligh. Through rich anecdotes, he provides a vivid portrayal of sea voyages, shipwrecks, the whaling industry, and the important link between maritime activities and the establishment of Australian society, bringing to life the adventures, hardships, and discoveries that characterized this era.
