Description
 
The Foreword to this book explains just what is covered in this title: "Some time ago the Australiasian Maritime Historical Society obtained permission to have the later Mr R.M.Cooper's 'A Naval History of South Australia and Other Historical Notes' reprinted, but it was not possible to proceed with this project due to the high costs involved. Since then it has been established that the main part of the work dealing with the South Australian Colonial Navy was based upon a series of newspaper articles written by Sir William Creswell and published in the Adelaide weekly newspaper 'The Observer'.

Those articles are now reprinted in full and are followed by additional information from the result of new researches by the current compiler.

 - In South Australian Waters
