Description - The Expedition of the St John-Baptiste to the Pacific, 1769-1770 by John Dunmore
The St Jean-Baptiste expedition, under the command of Jean-Francois-Marie de Surville, entered the Pacific by way of the Northern Philippines, made a landfall in the Solomons, sailed to New Zealand where they narrowly missed encountering Cook's Endeavour, and crossed the southern Pacific to the coast of Peru, where Surville met his death in an attempt to obtain help for his decimated crew. His journal, and that of his first officer Guillaume Labe present a complementaruy two-man picture of the expedition.
