In 1852 the Ticonderoga was a handsome clipper ship with a nightmare hidden in its holds. She limped into Port Melbourne after a nightmare voyage from England in which nearly 200 of her passengers had died of Typhus.
A story almost lost, this is a true moment of Australian maritime folklore. Journey though hopes of a new world, then almost smell the rotting stench of them slipping away. All the time travel the themes of family, of grit and of courage – and love.
A young surgeon is thrust into the role of saving those left – and he did with a dedicated assistant at his side. This man was Veitch’s great great Grandfather and his assistant, Annie Morrison his great great Grandmother. For Michael, this is a very personal story.
Written and performed by Michael Veitch. Directed by Peter Houghton. Musicians Rosie Lane and Thomas Veitch.
