Author Sally Berridge stumbled across the diaries of her great grandmother, Maud, who set sail in the 1880s on epic voyages to the other side of the world. Maud traveled to Australia with her husband, Henry, a ship's captain, and wrote detailed accounts of their journeys. Using Maud's words, her great granddaughter, Sally has told the story of an unflappable wife who battled sea sickness and other hardships on board the ship, Superb.
Sally joins Kathryn to tell Maud's story and her own remarkable tale of piecing together her great-grandmother's history.
