Directed by King Louis XVI to explore and chart the Pacific in 1785 La Pérouse set sail from France with the frigates Boussole and Astrolabe . and never returned. After years of speculation and expeditions sent in search of the ships their 1788 shipwrecked-fate in the South Seas was finally ascertained. Prior to disappearing La Pérouse dispatched a courier homeward overland via Russia with his narrative charts and artist-depictions to-date. His achievements were published in 1797 including this chart.<p>This chart covering the coastline from Cape Rond Tillamook Head northward to the Baie de Clonard present-day Queen Charlotte Islands or Haida Gwaii was the only chart of the region other than works by or based on Cook's efforts. Three Spanish voyages and Cook's third voyage had visited the west coast of now-known Vancouver Island before La Pérouse. As depicted in this chart the land mass is not yet known by the place-name "Vancouver" nor is it recognized as an island. LADA-MOCARSKI 52 claims the best charting by La Pérouse is on the Asian side of the Pacific. Indeed it must be noted that La Pérouse like Cook missed both the Columbia River and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. See WAGNER Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America 840.
