[@louisgray3479]

What I find most interesting about Bougainvilles' expedition is actually the story of his botanic, Philibert Comerson, and his assistant, known to the crew as Jean Baret, but her real name was Jeanne Baret. She was Comersons' houskeeper and lover. He was in poor health and needed her to nurse him, but french law at the time forbid women on navy ships. So she disguised herself as a man and they claimed to not know each other when she joined the expedition as his assistant shortly before the start of the voyage. Barets' knew a lot of healing properties of plants and therefore had a different viewpoint on them, than a studied botanic could have. Thus she could help Comerson a lot with collecting and categorizing the plants. At some point on the journey the truth about her gender must have come out. We don't know exactly when, but when Cook arrived on Tahiti, the inhabitants told him of a women on bord of Bougainvilles` ship. She didn't return with the rest of the crew, but stayed in Port Louis, Mauritius after Comerson died there in February 1773. She found some work in Port Louis and married a french soldier a year later. She returned with him to France around 1776 where she received a fair share of Commersons' property, which he had left her in his will. And thus Jeanne Baret became the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. She was also the first women to receive a pension from the french marine, probably due to Bougainvilles' support for her.

Well, you have to remember, the islanders conquered each other too. If the situations were reversed, it wouldn't have been much different.

[@coolguyjki]

@@Thecommander248 I mean, there's a world of difference between conquest and near-extermination and enslavement of entire ethnic identities. Since the Europeans didn't engage in conflicts of extermination and mass enslavement against each other most of the time, it's safe to assume that neither did the Pacific Islanders. There was absolutely a dimension of colonial and assumed racial superiority playing into this, and the assumption that Pacific Island cultures would be just as ready to commit a horrific continent-wide cleansing of Europeans for their own colonial ventures is a pretty big one.

James Cook deserves a series just for himself. Not just for his three voyages, but for his life story being very interesting in and of itself. He made maps of many islands in the South Pacific and of the Canadian Maritimes that were so accurate that many of them were still used until the mid 20th century. Also, his remains are still in Hawaii to this day. His gravesite is still technically British soil, and was made so by one of the last kings of Hawaii.

If you do a series about it you should really cover what happened to Cook’s remains, it’s a wonderful historical case of vastly differing cultural customs coming together in an awkward way, and makes you feel better Cook wasn’t as much of a colonizing bastard as the rest of the English because the Hawaiians wanted to bury him like an ali’i.

This is the part of Australian Maritime history we weren't taught at school. Sure, we learned that Captain Cook and the First Fleet who followed him, but never what he did before, after or even during his brief stay (I learned most of that for myself much later). From there we kind of skipped a few centuries and went straight to the wars Australia was involved in - heck we even skipped most of the Gold Rush! So thank you for this video.
