Robert Coffin, American Sailor and Fijian Beachcomber 1855
Just finished a book by one of my old English tutors at Victoria University, Susan Williams Milcairns's "Native Strangers: Beachcombers, Renegades and Castaways in the South Seas". Took the opportunity of school holidays to do this sketch of Robert Coffin, an American sailor who was shipwrecked in Fiji in 1855.
