A Voyage Around the World in 1766- 1769, with charts
The voyages of the good ship Boudeuse are some of the most famous in French Maritime history, and an original record was kept by Lewis de Bougainville, who was commander of this expedition.
The original record was published in French, but later translated for the Royal Society in the late 19th Century into English. This translation shows how fascinating such a voyage is, with an eyewitness account of life across the Magellan Strait, and onwards towards Batavia, and the Dutch East Indies.
Experience one of the 18th Centuries most vivid expeditions across the World, seeing and feeling through the eloquent words of the author, the adventures that made this voyage so famous.
