Narrative and Successful Result of a Voyage in the South Seas : Performed by Order of the Government of British India, to Ascertain the Actual Fate of La Perouse's Expedition

Omtale

Trader and adventurer Peter Dillon (1788–1847) spent much of his life in the Pacific. When he discovered artefacts from a lost French expedition, his familiarity with Pacific Islander cultures enabled him to establish its fate, and acquire many items from the shipwrecks. This two-volume 1829 publication tells the story.
