Abstract
From the outset, the reader must take into consideration that the voyage of La Pérouse, sailing from Brest at the beginning of August, 1785, would end in shipwreck, presumably in the summer of 1788 in the western Pacific. His final port of call had been Botany Bay (Australia) from which he had sailed on 10 March 1788, never to be seen again. The original manuscript of his journal, obviously a fundamental document for the record of the voyage, was lost with him; as were the principal studies, the daily notes, and the major part of the collections made by the botanists and the gardener.
