By a huge coincidence, an extraordinary chance meeting. The ships of Laperouse on a voyage of scientific discovery, the French response to the voyages of Captain James Cook, encountered the First Fleet, at anchor and about to sail as they prepare to move to Port Jackson to start in earnest a colony at Sydney Cove.
Frickers worked from original source material including, thanks to the UK Hydrographic Office, the chart drawn on Cook's voyage, the same that guided the First fleet and Laperouse to Botany Bay.
