	Matthew Flinders
		Born in Lincolnshire, England, the young Matthew Flinders had his hunger for exploration and knowledge whetted by the tale of Robinson Crusoe, and at the age of fifteen he joined the navy.
		Flinders set sail for England aboard The Porpoise to secure another vessel from the British Government with which to complete his survey, but was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef.
		Flinders next attempted to return to England aboard The Cumberland, but the poor condition of the schooner forced it to put in at Mauritius for repairs on 17 December.

		Insight may be gained into the personal nature of Matthew Flinders through a reading of his letters to his wife, Ann, from whom he was separated for over nine years, and his journal, particularly his response to the loss of crew members in the locality named Cape Catastrophe.
