This is the first in-depth study of the sojourn in Sydney made by
Nicolas Baudin's scientific expedition to Australia in 1802.
Starbuck focuses on the reconstruction of the voyage during the
expedition's stay in colonial Sydney and how this sheds new light
on our understanding of French society, politics and science in the
era of Bonaparte.
The Napoleonic era was a period of major transition. During this
time, the explorer Nicolas Baudin made a voyage to Australia and
made an unscheduled stop in Sydney where he restructured the
expedition. Starbuck examines Baudin's captainship, life on board
the ship, the details of the stop in Port Jackson, and the 'new
voyage' that followed.
