"Mariners Are Warned!" is the story of the six-year voyage undertaken by HMS Beagle as it sailed the uncharted coastline of Australia, commanded by John Lort Stokes. The mission was to chart the vast and lonely coastline of Australia in an attempt to reduce the trading losses through cargo ships foundering on hidden reefs and a hostile shoreline. Though Stokes was a sober, conscientious and earnest man, his actions were often foolhardy. This volume will be welcomed by historians of Australia and of exploration. It won Age Book of the Year Award and the A.A. Phillips Award for Australian Studies when published in Australia.
