The visitor to Port Arthur cannot help but be touched by the aura of isolation and despair that still haunts the remains of this landmark to human insensitivity.

The events and stories associated with Port Arthur have fascinated thousands of visitors who have wandered these ruins. This book details a short history of Port Arthur from 1830 to 1877. It vividly portrays the convict era, detailing the conditions under which these men, woman and even children were kept, their lives, their struggles and occasionally, their triumphs.
