English navigator William Dampier, aboard the English ship Cygnet, made the earliest recorded visit to sea round the island in March 1688. He found it uninhabited.[5] Dampier gave an account of the visit which can be found in his Voyages.[6] Dampier was trying to reach Cocos from New Holland. His ship was pulled off course in an easterly direction, arriving at Christmas Island twenty-eight days later. Dampier landed at the Dales (on the west coast). Two of his crewmen were the first Europeans to set foot on Christmas Island.

It proved irresistably attractive to the intrepid Victorians. To get there, men and women braved ships and seas few would even contemplate today. Although they were 'lady' travellers, they were resilient gutsy women who, revelling in their escape from the polite parlours of society, hitched up their skirts and grasped a slice of adventure. One young traveller witnessed her mother being slaughtered: another was murdered. From the governor's lady to the conqueror of Mount Cook; from war correspondent to Victorian tomboy, the lives of these very early tourists have been captured in this work. --- Contents: Betsy Broughton 1807-1891: The Burning of the Boyd; Sarah Mathew c. 1805-1890: Social Commentator; Caroline Chevalier c. 1832-1917: The Journey; Mary Dobie 1850-1880: The Te Namu Murder; Constance Astley 1851-1935: Hidden Love; The Richardson Sisters: Lillie 1868-1937, Ethel 1869-1946, Fanny 1872-1954: Victorian Tomboys; The Countess of Ranfurly 1858-1932: Governor's Lady; May Kinsey 1874-19??: Philanthropist's Daughter; Freda Du Faur 1882-1935: Conqueror of Mount Cook; Constance Barnicoat 1872-1922: 'War Correspondent, Traveller, Alpinist and Imperialist', Penguin, 2001, Dawsons Pall Mall, 1973-02-01.
