John Dundas Cochrane


Captain John Dundas Cochrane, Royal Navy (14 February 1793 – 1825) was a Scottish naval officer, traveller and explorer. An illegitimate son of Scottish adventurer Andrew Cochrane-Johnstone, John Dundas Cochrane came from a large and adventurous family - he was a cousin of Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, and nephew of Admiral Sir Alexander Forrester Inglis Cochrane, John Dundas Cochrane crossed France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Russia and Asia to Kamchatka on foot, hence his nickname of the "Pedestrian Traveller" ("voyageur pédestre" in France).
After returning to England in 1820, John Dundas Cochrane published his travels in ''Narrative of a Pedestrian Journey through Russia and Siberian Tartary, to the Frontiers of China to the Frozen Sea and Kamtchatka'' ( 2 vols., London, 1824).
VOL.I () MSN scanned full text and a free book. Note: This shows image of Captain J. D. Cochrane at beginning.
VOL.II () MSN scanned full text and a free book. Note this shows image of his wife, Mrs. Cochrane, at beginning.
These two volumes are not identical and include some of the captain's travels and experiences as well as his motives for traveling by foot over vast distances in harsh terrain.
Cochrane married Ksenia Ivanovna Loginova (1807-1870) in 1822; she was an adoptive daughter of Admiral Pyotr Rikord, the Russian governor of Kamchatka. As a widow, she married Pyotr Anjou, an Arctic explorer and Russian admiral.
John Dundas Cochrane died in 1825 in Valencia, Colombia while in transit, again on foot, to his family's mining interests in South America.
