Australia’s Queer Maritime History with Graham Willett
Location
About
Sailors have long been fetishised by gay men. And, often enough, sailors were happy enough to go along with this.
But the queer history of maritime Australia goes deeper than this -- sailors, crew, passengers ... aboard warships and cruise liners; in ports, and in pubs, both swanky and divey.
Drawing on oral histories, archival research and novels, historian Graham Willett reveals more of the history they didn't teach us at school.
