1772 Voyages of Louis Bougainville Pacific Ocean TAHITI Falkland Islands MAPS 2v SET

Louis Antoine de Bougainville was an 18th-century French explorer who, after serving in the American Revolution, gained notoriety for his attempt to circumnavigate the world. This voyage became famous for being the first expedition to make records of the Falkland Islands and other islands near Papua New Guinea. The two-ship expedition which began in 1766 spent much time in Tahiti and Samoa gaining information on the local tribes, and much of what we know now of these peoples is attributed to Bougainville and his expedition.
