{"product_id":"9781784611842","title":"Mimosa - The Life and Times of the Ship That Sailed to Patagonia","description":"On Sunday, May 28, 1865 a twelve-year-old clipper ship that had not designed to carry passengers and was well past her sailing prime sailed from Liverpool. She was bound for Patagonia, seven thousand miles away. On board were 162 Welsh men, women and children whose traditions and language were being threatened by the anglicization that was engulfing Wales and whose poverty was driving them to seek a new land. The name of the ship was Mimosa.\nIn 'Mimosa: the Life and Times of the Ship that Sailed to Patagonia', Susan Wilkinson has researched the entire history of the Mimosa, from her construction in Aberdeen to her last days as a storage hulk on the mosquito-infested coast of West Africa.\nThe Mimosa is mentioned in all histories, diaries and even books of fiction, that have been written, and are still being written, on the Welsh colony in Patagonia. Except for that almost legendary voyage, little is known of her except that she had been a tea clipper. Hitherto, nothing has been written of her other voyages or of what happened to her after her voyage to Patagonia.","brand":"Susan Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52072237564168,"sku":"9781784611842","price":9.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8519\/2712\/files\/9781784611842.jpg?v=1770799215","url":"https:\/\/www.ffolio.wales\/products\/9781784611842","provider":"ffolio.wales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
