Join maritime historian Chris Maxworthy for an insightful lecture exploring the early interactions between colonial Australia, Peru and Chile.
In 2018, Chris unearthed a set of documents that pointed to a Spanish plan of attack on the young colony of New South Wales in 1796. Drawing from his research, Chris tells a fascinating narrative of this period that includes pirates, privateers and grand ideas!
