A Colonial Enterprise: A Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company 1852-1892

A Colonial Enterprise is the first book to be dedicated to the Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company, and tells the story of its founding, its many trials and tribulations, the circumstances of its dramatic fall and their consequences. Many Tasmanians today can trace the prosperity of their forebears to its success, and its iconic Henry Hunter-designed office in Hobart’s Sullivans Cove Historic Precinct remains as tangible evidence of its significance.
