Louis de Freycinet
Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet was a French navigator. He circumnavigated the earth, and in 1811 published the first map to show a full outline of the coastline of Australia.
He was born at Montlimar, Drme. LouisClaude de Saulces de Freycinet was his full name . He had three brothers, LouisHenri de Saulces de Freycinet, AndrCharles de Saulces de Freycinet and the youngest, FrdricCasimir de Saulces de Freycinet . LouisClaude was the second oldest. In 1793 he entered the French navy. After taking part in several engagements against the British, he joined in 1800, along with his brother , who afterwards rose to the rank of admiral, an expedition to explore the south and southwest coasts of Australia. It set out under Nicolas Baudin in the ships Naturaliste and Gographe. Much of the ground already gone over by Matthew Flinders was revisited, and new names imposed by this expedition, which claimed credit for discoveries really made by the English navigator. In the end, Baudin and Freycinet managed to have their map of the Australian coastline published in 1811, three years before Flinders published his.
