In August 1948, 545 passengers boarded an overcrowded, clapped-out vessel leaving Marseilles and heading to an uncertain future in Australia. Diane Armstrong has recreated this incredible three-month voyage, giving us the stories of these hopeful passengers - both what they left behind and how the future unfolded for them.
