Abstract
This study rethinks colonial building and architecture in the Tasman world through a case
study of the sealing industry. It argues that it is necessary to contemplate Sydney, Hobart,
and Launceston from the water, as port cities; to restore connections between seal hunting,
capitalism, and empire-building; and to situate sealers within the "webs of empire" that
encased the globe by the nineteenth century.
