Not many ships’ cats have even one memorial statue, let alone
six. But Trim does, including one outside Euston Station in London,
proudly unveiled by Prince William on the bicentenary of Matthew
Flinders’s death – 19 July 2014. Trim was the ship’s cat who
accompanied Matthew Flinders on his voyages to circumnavigate and
map the coastline of Australia from 1801 to 1803. He lived quite
the adventurous life. As a small kitten he fell overboard while at
sea but managed to swim back to the vessel and climb back on board
by scaling a rope. This cemented his position as Flinders’s
beloved companion, and together they survived a voyage around the
world, the circumnavigation of Australia and a shipwreck. When
Flinders was imprisoned by the French in Mauritius in 1803 Trim
shared his captivity until one day he mysteriously disappeared –
which heartbreakingly Flinders attributed to his being stolen and
eaten by a hungry slave. Trim, The Cartographer’s Cat is an ode
to this much-loved ship’s cat, which will warm the heart of any
cat lover. The first part of the book reproduces Flinders’ own
whimsical tribute to Trim, written while in captivity in the early
1800s, with added ‘friendly footnotes’ to provide some
background to Flinders’s numerous literary allusions and nautical
terms. Next the book discusses where Flinders was when he wrote his
tribute and why, and what his letters and journals from that time
tell us about his ‘sporting, affectionate and useful
companion’. Finally, we learn what Trim’s views on all of this
might have been, in a fun and fanciful observation on his premature
epitaph. Accompanying all of this are beautiful maps, historical
artworks, quirky original illustrations by Ad Long and excerpts
from Flinders’ original script, showing his beautiful
handwriting. This book will make a unique and treasured gift for
Flinders fans, Trim fans and cat lovers around the world.
