try the British Archaelogical Reports BAR Supplementary Series 27 - Australia's Oldest Wreck: The Loss of the Trial 1622 Published 1977. It has a a very good coverage of the English East India Company's ship lost on the Trial rocks, which were either deliberately or erroneously misplaced for about 300 years, because 'they weren't where they were supposed to be'. The BAR also has a good disertation on the navigation problems of the time and in particular the Brouwer route to the East Indies. cheers Roger Puttman 32' 26.6'S 115' 45.5' E ------------------------------------------------- [Sent from archive by: rkputty-AT-westnet.com.au] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
