Voyage of Discovery to N.S.W. in the Lady Nelson in 1800

"Voyage of Discovery to N.S.W. in the Lady Nelson in 1800" is a historical account of the journey to Hunter's River and Ash Island by Lieutenant James Grant, a Scottish-born British Royal Navy officer and navigator in the early nineteenth century. The expedition aimed to proceed to Australia to prosecute the discovery of the unknown parts of the coast of New Holland and map new lands. It became the first ship to sail through the Bass Strait from west to east, charting the then-unknown coastline.
