Mimosa – The Life and Times of the Ship That Sailed to Patagonia
Mimosa – The Life and Times of the Ship That Sailed to Patagonia
This book is the biography of a ship. Although it travelled the seas for almost twenty years, the Mimosa is best known for one voyage – the 1865 journey of a group of Welshmen to set up a colony in Patagonia. Susan Wilkinson is the great-great niece of the doctor who accompanied the colonists on that trip. Her studies of the Patagonian colony and its founding led to her interest in the ship.£12.95
