Thomas Braidwood Wilson
Thomas Braidwood Wilson FRGS (bapt. 29 April 1792 – 11 November 1843) was an Australian surgeon and explorer. He was baptised in Kirknewton, West Lothian, Scotland, the son of James, and Catherine Boak.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Australian Dictionary of Biography online edition )〕
==Sea voyages==
Wilson studied at Edinburgh University and became a Doctor of Medicine. He joined the Royal Navy in 1815 and made nine voyages to Australia as a surgeon-superintendent on convict ships.
The times were very dangerous and many of the sea voyages were eventful. In 1829 he travelled on the return journey of the ''Governor Ready'' to Australia when it was shipwrecked in the Torres Strait. Wilson and some of the crew rowed 1000 miles (1609 km) to Timor.〔
Aboard the ship, ''John'', Wilson returned in 1831 to Hobart Town with a hive of bees, that had survived the trip to Australia, and many European plants. The bees were considered to be the first European bees brought to the continent. Wilson was presented with an engraved snuffbox with the inscription praising him for, "introducing to (the colony) some of the most valuable plants and animals, but especially the honeybee, which are now in a manner become indigenous to it."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher= Radio National Ocham's Razor )〕
