Abstract

Although the social contribution of the coastal steamship service to Australia's development has received some consideration, the assessment of the technological significance of the ships appears to have been largely ignored. The paper examines the technology of the ships which inaugurated the Sydney to Brisbane service in the early 1840s, and assesses their contribution to the development of Australian engineering.
