Australia’s Queer Maritime History with Graham Willett
Drawing on his research, historian Graham Willett will highlight the history you were never taught at school!
Tuesday 11 February | 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm | Emerald Hill Library
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.
