Description

Amid the Napoleonic Wars, France and Britain launched rival voyages of discovery to the Antipodes. Led by the outstanding naval captains Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders, these expeditions were seen as vital for gathering geographical and scientific knowledge—yet both expeditions ended in personal disaster for their commanders. Drawing extensively on original eyewitness accounts, logs and journals, this intriguing historical documentation brings to life the tragic circumstances of the two men who suffered abrupt changes in fortune while in pursuit of discovery.
