The Casuarina schooner was purchased by Nicolas Baudin at Port Jackson (Sydney) in 1802, during the Baudin expedition to Australia. She was a locally built schooner.〔 〕 Baudin left France with two ships, ''Géographe'' and ''Naturaliste''. The ''Naturaliste'' was sent home from Port Jackson with the specimens collected to date. The ''Casuarina'', under Louis de Freycinet, then accompanied ''Géographe'' on the expedition, and conducted the close inshore survey work not possible in the larger vessel. By July 1803 Baudin and many of the crew were ill; Baudin abandoned the survey to return home to France. In September 1803 Baudin died at Isle de France (Mauritius), and the ''Casuarina'' was abandoned there. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Casuarina (schooner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
