Topic: Louis Isidore Duperrey


In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  DUPERREY, Louis Isidore, Voyage autour du Monde...
Duperrey, who was thirty-five at the start of the voyage, had been on the crew of the previous major French Pacific voyage, that of Freycinet.
The expedition discovered new islands (for instance in the Gilbert and Caroline groups), corrected errors in existing maps and charts, especially of the Society Islands, and collated valuable meteorological data from an extensive 31-month series of observations of sea temperature and air pressure and temperature, during which six observations were made daily.
Duperrey's long visit to Tahiti and the Society Islands continued the French interest in this group, which culminated in their annexation by Dupetit-Thouars.

Two of his countrymen followed him in 1823-1829--Louis Isidore Duperrey and Dumont d'Urville.

This was organised due to the interest of King Louis XVI in the voyages of Captain Cook.
With Louis de Freycinet in command of the "Casuarina", the expedition headed south to King Island in Bass Strait.
Hyacinthe de Bougainville, the eldest son of Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, was given command of the "Thétis", and, accompanied by the "Espérance", set out on a mission to attempt to establish diplomatic relations in Indo-China and to improve trade as well as increase knowledge of the region.

A year after his return from the voyage with the Uranie and the Physicienne, Lt. Louis Isidore Duperrey proposed another expedition to the Minister of the Marine.
His scientific accomplishments helped convince King Charles X to approve the project and in early 1822 was given command of the Coquille which was specifically modified for the expedition.
Captain Duperrey chose Jules Sébastien César Dumont D'Urville for his second in command and with whom he had cruised with on board the Chevrette two years earlier.

This is not a dry, medical report so much as a narrative of the voyage, interspersed with the scientific observations of a medically-educated man. Lesson includes as a supplement his lengthy anthropological memoir on the races of Oceania, Malaysia and Australia.
Arago was the official artist on the expedition, which spent considerable time in Hawaii as well as New South Wales and Western Australia; the plates here, all after Arago's own drawings made during the voyage, are especially interesting for Western Australia, New South Wales, Hawaii and the islands of Micronesia.

 History
In addition, a set of the rare so-called " Duperrey prints " was purchased.
Original sketches made by the crew member/artist Jules Lejeune were painted by the artist Antoine Chazal then made into handcoloured engravings by Ambroise Tardieu which were published in 1826.
Those Duperrey prints recording the native birds and fish of places visited during the voyage were donated by Fletcher Holdings to Otago University Library after Fletcher Construction had completed the University's new library building in 1965.

The corvette Uranie left Toulon 17 Sept 1817 with a crew of officers assigned to do zoological observations, i.e., Jean René Quoy (surgeon major) and his assistant Joseph Paul Gaimard; and botanical collections, i.e., the pharmacist Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré.
The infinite patience and determination of Gaudichard-Beaupré in retrieving his herbarium from the shipwrecked Uranie (he washed the plants in freshwater and dried them again) and thus saving two thirds of the shipwrecked botanical collection is here noteworthy of the dedication of voyageur-naturalists of the time (see Bauchot et al.

The deranged needles would mark contradictory directions as we approached the southern magnetic pole, which doesn't coincide with the South Pole proper.
In fact, according to the astronomer Hansteen, this magnetic pole is located fairly close to latitude 70 degrees and longitude 130 degrees, or abiding by the observations of Louis-Isidore Duperrey, in longitude 135 degrees and latitude 70 degrees 30'.
Hence we had to transport compasses to different parts of the ship, take many readings, and strike an average.
