Where Fate Beckons. The Life of Jean-Francois de la Perouse.

John Dunmore.

A compelling biography of the great French navigator and his Pacific expedition that was the first to explore the coasts of California and Alaska, little known Korean seas and the isolated coast of Siberia. After a visit to Botany Bay only six days after the arrival of the First Fleet his two ships vanished. The mystery was solved forty years later when it was discovered that both ships were wrecked on the Solomon Islands.
