Description

Explore the history of Pacific exploration through this two-volume set from Routledge. During the late 18th century, Britain and France sent major expeditions to the Pacific. While James Cook made significant contributions, the voyages of Bougainville, Surville, and Marion Du Fresne were also important to the era. Following the death of Cook, France organized a large-scale expedition under the support of Louis XVI. This mission was designed to last four years and focused on surveying areas of the Pacific that remained unexplored or inadequately mapped. Led by an experienced and highly regarded naval officer, this collection provides a detailed look at one of the most significant maritime journeys of the period. This work is an essential resource for those interested in social and urban history, naval expeditions, and the era of global discovery.
