The combined crews salvaged parts and built a new vessel, the Deliverance, which some of the crew then sailed to Hawaii.

$300.00Duperrey--Louis-Isidore1827-French-Chart-of-Bora-Bora-Harbor--Society-Islands---Duperrey-s-La-Coquille-ExpeditionEarly French hydrographic chart of Bora Bora's western harbor and lagoon, surveyed in May and June 1823 by officers of the corvette La Coquille under Louis-Isidore Duperrey. Published circa 1827 as part of the expedition's hydrographic atlas and engraved by Ambroise Tardieu, whose signature appears below the lower right border. Plate No. 6.<br><br> The chart details the navigable waters between Bora Bora's mountainous main island and the offshore motus and barrier reef. Numerous depth soundings trace the entrance passage and routes through the lagoon, while closely drawn reef margins distinguish sheltered water from the surrounding ocean. Named features include Baie Faanui, Motou Toopua, and Motou Iti. Hachures describe the steep coastal slopes and the relief of the larger islands, supplemented by vegetation symbols and scattered buildings along the shore.<br><br> An explanatory note identifies the units used for soundings and abbreviations for seabed materials, allowing the chart to serve as a practical guide to depths and anchoring conditions. A scale of one nautical mile appears beneath the title. The detailed treatment of the reef passage, shoals, and enclosed anchorage reflects the navigational challenges faced by visiting sailing vessels.<br><br> Duperrey's 1822-1825 circumnavigation combined hydrographic surveying with scientific collecting across the Pacific. This chart records Bora Bora during that expedition, documenting its harbor and coastal landscape well before modern resort development.<br><br>

$150.00Duperrey--Louis-Isidore-French-Chart-of-Ascension-Island--South-Atlantic---Duperrey-ExpeditionDetailed French engraved chart of Ascension Island in the South Atlantic, based on surveys made during the January 1825 visit of La Coquille under Louis-Isidore Duperrey. Published in the hydrographic atlas accompanying the official account of the expedition's 1822-1825 circumnavigation.<br><br> The chart emphasizes Ascension's volcanic landscape, with numerous isolated cones, crater-like depressions, steep coastal slopes, and the deeply dissected highlands surrounding Green Mountain. Closely worked hachures distinguish the rugged uplands from the more open terrain, while gullies and tracks extend across the interior. The coastline is carefully delineated, with offshore soundings concentrated around the western anchorage at Sandy Bay.<br><br> A lettered reference key identifies selected features, supplemented by a north arrow, coordinate reference lines, and a scale in nautical miles. The combination of inland topography and coastal hydrography made the chart useful both for approaching vessels and for understanding the island's difficult terrain.<br><br> Ascension was one of the final calls of Duperrey's expedition before its return to France. The chart records this isolated Atlantic island during the early years of British occupation, presenting the volcanic landscape and anchorage as observed by a French scientific surveying expedition.
