The Navigators - Baudin vs Flinders - Part 1

[@chamberpot969]

What a fantastic story I am filled with admiration for these brave men on the 19th Century equivalent of a lunar mission in fragile craft alone for months in the vastness of the southern oceans.

[@steveberzel9112]

A superb documentary on two epic expeditions. Well done.

[@welovecricket9110]

yes, you are right. I just finished part 2 totally impressed and saw part 1 as next in ,one to play...bloody you tube LOL

The bridge in Paris shown at 00:03:02 is the Pont Alexandre III, built in 1900, 100 years after the expedition

Superbly done,Who is Klaus Toft who wrote produced and filmed this Ms Marin of the Baudin Society is excellent,,she is witty and wise, Baudins first act on landing is to plant apples and pears for the benefit of the Aborigines,If only the French had colonised Tasmania the inhabitants may have survived,,,instead they were exterminated,Baudin,,the first antropologist ,,,,was an enlightened European, He should be a national hero in Australia

This was very informative - brilliant job!

[@philipwatersdeaf]

Looks great! But without subtitles, not accessible for deaf people. Can you please enable subtitles? KZbin can then automatically generate reasonably good subtitles.

[@LarsBosteen]

Nice, but background music is too loud.
