Nicolas Baudin

Nicolas-Thomas Baudin (born February 17, 1754 in Saint-Martin-de-Ré , † September 16, 1803 in Port-Louis ) was a French navigator and expedition leader . After being on the side of USA at the American Revolutionary War had participated, he made one after research trips to Austria and France . Initially celebrated in both countries, it then fell victim to the Damnatio memoriae . As an autodidact , he encountered prejudices among natural scientists and as a former captain of the merchant navy among naval officers. Even if project-making was involved in his career , research tends towards his rehabilitation.
Celebrated and damned
Before Baudin set out on his last expedition, the only engraving appeared that authentically reproduces a lost portrait of the seafarer . This was drawn secretly by Joseph Jauffret (1781–1836) in August 1800 during a banquet . The engraver is André-Joseph Mécou (1774–1838). The following quatrain, written by the traveling zoologist François Péron (1775–1810), is reproduced below the portrait :
“De Cook, de Bougainville émule généreux,
Sur leurs traces Baudin va marcher à la gloire.
Et, dans les fastes de l'Histoire,
Clio marque déjà sa place à côté d'eux. "
Translated into prose : “Baudin will achieve fame in the footsteps of Cook and Bougainville , whom he dignifiedly emulate. And Klio already determines his place at their side in the annals of history. ”As the author of the official expedition report, however, the same Péron painted a negative image of Baudin. So negative that Napoleon is said to have said: “Baudin was good to die; I would have left him hanging on my return. "
American War of Independence

Baudin's father, the merchant François Baudin (1719–1780) in Saint-Martin-de-Ré on the Île de Ré , owned barges for coastal shipping . His mother Suzanne b. Guillobé (approx. 1728–1778) was a cousin of the shipowner Jean Peltier Dudoyer (1734–1803) in Nantes . Baudin's brothers Alexandre (1756-1822) and Augustin (1757-1821) also became captains. Baudin went to sea early. In 1775 he went as a Fourier with a troop transport to the Île de France, today's Mauritius . In 1776 he served in the grenadier company of the regiment of Pondichéry ( French India ), but without being able to become a civil officer .
This was made possible by the American War of Independence (1775–1783), in which France - undercover until 1778 - supported the USA. Peltier equipped about 15 ships with which the poet Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732–1799) supplied the troops of George Washington with war supplies. Returning to Lorient in 1777 , Baudin received the rank of lieutenant at sea in the French navy, albeit only temporarily because of the lack of nobility. He served on the Duc de Choiseul , which officially belonged to Peltier and was raised by the English off Nova Scotia in 1778 . Despite a gunshot wound, he managed to escape from Halifax to Boston . As a result, he commanded the transport ship L ' Amphitrite , which sank in a storm 60 miles off the coast at Cape Cod , then the package ship La Revanche (The Revenge), which off Saint-Domingue , today's Haiti , after a five-hour battle of the Royal Navy fell into hand. Baudin was again a prisoner of war in Jamaica . After profiting from a prisoner exchange, he returned to France in 1779 on the captured English frigate La Minerve . In 1780 he received the patent as captain of the merchant navy in La Rochelle .
In the same year he was in Rochefort in command of the frigate L ' Apollon transfer of 44 guns that convoys escorted . But when a trip to the Cape of Good Hope was due in 1782 , Baudin was replaced by the commandant of Brest , Charles-Jean d'Hector, with a noble protégé and resigned from service in the Navy. His last engagement at the time of the American War of Independence was 1782–1784 in command of the frigate L'Aimable Eugénie (The Amiable Eugenie), which belonged to Beaumarchais and had been equipped by Peltier.
Subsequently, Baudin probably participated in the trade between the Austrian Netherlands and the USA. Ostend , which Emperor Joseph II had declared a free port in 1781, played an important role in this . During this time, Baudin is said to have given help to a subject of the emperor who was captured by barbarian corsairs , which is why he received the order of Saint Phillipps as the lion of the Counts of Limburg-Styrum in 1786 and thus the right to call himself Chevalier .
Expeditions for Austria
Cape Province , Mascarene Mountains (1786–1788)
In 1785 Baudin brought French expelled from Canada ( Acadians ) from Nantes to New Orleans, then Spanish ( deportation of Acadians ). When he was traveling from there to the Île de France, he could have negotiated with the botanist Franz Joseph Märter (1753-1827) in Jamaica in October 1786 . This had been entrusted by Joseph II with the management of an expedition team, which had broken up in the meantime. As a result, from February to March 1787, Baudin brought an earlier companion of Märters, the gardener Franz Boos (1753-1821) from Frauenalb in Baden , from the Dutch Cape Colony to the Île de France. For the return trip in December, Boos Baudins chartered Pepita (Josepha), which was renamed La pépinière (The Nursery) . Because the ship did not have enough space, Boos left some of the people collected there on the Cape under the care of his sick assistant Georg Scholl (1751–1831). He reached Vienna in August 1788 via Málaga and Trieste . Baudin, whom he praised very much, had traveled there ahead of him. The largest animals they brought with them were two zebras .
East India (1788–1794)
Introduced by Boos to the care of plants and animals, Baudin set out in 1788 on a partly commercial, partly scientific mission to East India. Then he should bring Scholl back. But he lost two ships, both of which he had named La jardinière (The Gardener) . The first was shipwrecked near Asunción ( Northern Mariana Islands ) in 1789 under the command of his deputy en route from Macau to North America . The second fell victim to a cyclone in December of that year on the Île de France, where he bought it .
To get to Europe, Baudin boarded a ship of the Spanish Compañía de Filipinas ( Philippines Company) in 1790 . This was apparently unseaworthy, so that he had to leave his collections in Trinidad . He returned to Vienna via Martinique in September 1791. There he negotiated another trip to New Holland (Australia), which Emperor Leopold II only wanted to help finance after Scholl had been transported back. Shortly before the third Jardinière, a frigate with 20 cannons, with the gardeners Franz Bredemeyer (1758–1839) and Joseph van der Schot, a baron of Andrian-Werburg as well as some k. k. Officers and soldiers set sail from Genoa under the Austrian flag in May 1792 , the Kaiser died and the First Coalition War broke out. Baudin only found out about the latter after passing the Strait of Gibraltar . He went to Malaga to get instructions, but was arrested and taken to Madrid. After unsuccessfully attempting to return to the French Navy, he was able to continue the journey in October. Because the Austrians returned home on board, he took over the collection of natural history material himself.
Baudin reached the Cape via Madeira in April 1793 and drove from there towards New Holland. But he had to turn back because of storm damage and have the ship repaired in Bombay . Since a large part of the crew was lured away from him there, he returned via the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea towards the Cape Colony. While his native France abolished slavery, he bought slaves in Mozambique . They were able to save themselves when the third Jardinière ran aground on a reef in April 1794 near Cape Agulhas , the southernmost point of Africa . As a result, the disappointed Scholl claimed - as an investigation showed, wrongly - that Baudin had orchestrated the accident and thereby damaged Austria. According to Baudin, parts of the collected goods destined for Vienna were also saved, including living plants of 150 to 200 species in 160 boxes and barrels and 70 living birds. In 1795 he is said to have entrusted this material to the engineer and botanist Pierre Labarrère in Trinidad and to some French people living there. (Spain, to which Trinidad belonged, then left the coalition against France .)
Expeditions to France
Antilles (1796–1798)

When Baudin returned to Le Havre via New England in December 1795 , he submitted a project to Naval Minister Laurent Truguet (1752-1839) to intercept English convoys returning from India at Saint Helena . When he was unsuccessful, he promised in March 1796 the botanist Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu (1748-1836), who headed the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and the associated Jardin des Plantes , to leave the collections left behind on Trinidad to these institutions if the governing board of directors pays for the transport costs. He presented a catalog with self-made colored drawings. At the same time he offered to procure more plants and animals on the still little explored Trinidad and the nearby coast of South America. He had also won over the shipowner Langevin in Nantes to lend the republic the Flûte La Belle Angélique (The Beautiful Angelica) . Both the management of the museum and the directorate, to which a botanist Louis-Marie de La Révellière-Lépeaux (1753-1824) belonged, approved the project, so that Baudin was able to set sail in Le Havre in September.
When the ship between the Azores and Madeira was damaged by a storm, the 108 men on board survived, according to the accompanying priest and botanist André-Pierre Ledru (1761-1825) only thanks to the experience and cold-bloodedness of Baudin, who was injured in the head . On Tenerife, he climbed the 3718 meter high Teide volcano in December , but ice prevented him from reaching the summit. As a replacement for the Belle Angélique , he acquired the brig La Fanny, which only offered space for 50 men. Because Spain had allied itself with France, the English occupied Trinidad in February 1797. When Baudin arrived there in April, he had to leave without having achieved anything. This although the President of the Royal Society , the botanist Joseph Banks (1743-1820), had given him a letter of protection from the Admiralty . His brother Augustin was later able to handle a small part of his collections.
The expedition team's stays in Tenerife (November 1796 – March 1797), in the Danish West Indies (April – July 1797) and on Puerto Rico (July 1797 – April 1798) were profitable. Between Baudin, Ledru, the zoologist René Maugé (1757–1802) and the gardener Anselm Riedle , French Anselme Riedlé (1765–1801) from Irsee in the Allgäu , there was “republican unity”. When expedition members like Riedle fell ill, Baudin felt responsible for their wellbeing. In order to be able to take away the harvest, the Fanny in Saint Thomas, Denmark , was exchanged for the larger three-master Le Triomphe . Baudin banished the team in the cargo hold to the water barrels so that the lower deck could accommodate 270 plants crates. Trees over 1.5 meters high were lowered to the bottom of the cargo hatches . The main deck was given skylights that could be sealed with tarred tarpaulin . The return trip from San Juan via Fécamp to Paris lasted from April to June 1798. During a storm, Baudin stayed on the bridge for 48 hours to save the ship and the plants. It cost him a similar amount of effort to be let through the English Channel by the Royal Navy .
On 27./28. In July, Paris celebrated the Fête de la Liberté (Festival of Freedom) to commemorate the end of Robespierre's reign of terror in 1794. Baudin's exotic plants ( bananas , coconut and other palms , papayas ) were carried along in a triumphal procession , together with those of Bonaparte in Venice captured horses from San Marco and the residents of the Bernese Bear Pit kidnapped by Brune . Jussieu paid Baudin the highest praise. A special glass house was built for his plants in the Jardin des Plantes . In August he received the degree of sea captain in the navy.
Ledru's account of the trip appeared in print in 1810. In it he tells, among other things, how he paved a path with the saber through the jungle in Puerto Rico, through which Baudin, Maugé and Riedle carried a tree fern , and how he fell in love with a planter's daughter who was 20 years his junior despite his priestly skirt. In his comments on Ledru's work, the botanist Charles-Nicolas-Sigisbert Sonnini (1751–1812), in contrast to the author, portrayed Baudin negatively. His own diary had to wait until 2009 for publication.
The mineralogist Alexandre-Philippe Advenier († 1803), the surgeon Jean-Louis Hogard and the painter Antonio González, who made a second trip to the Spanish part of Hispaniola (today's Dominican Republic ) after the expedition , never saw their homeland again .
Circumnavigation plans (1798/99)
While Bonaparte set out on the Egypt campaign in May 1798, accompanied by 167 scientists and artists , Louis-Antoine de Bougainville (1729–1811), who was the first Frenchman to sail around the world from 1766–1769, planned a repetition of his trip, including the Prussian one Natural scientist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) should take part. But since Bougainville was already 68 years old, the board of directors replaced him as head of the company with the returning Baudin. Humboldt writes about the planned expedition with three corvettes : “We should spend the 1st year in Paraguaÿ and in the Patagonian country , the 2nd in Peru , Chili , Mexico and California , the 3rd in the Southern Sea , the 4th in Madagascar and the 5th in Guinea . “ Lack of money and the foreseeable outbreak of the Second Coalition War (1798 / 99–1801 / 02) led to the postponement of the departure by at least one year. As a result, Humboldt and the botanist Aimé Bonpland (1773-1858) set out for South America alone , but Baudin promised to pick them up in Callao (Peru).
Australia, West Timor (1800–1804)
However, he could not keep the aforementioned agreement, because in 1800 Bonaparte, who had in the meantime taken power as the first consul, commissioned him to research Australia, which the French Joseph Bruny d'Entrecasteaux (1737-1793) was already involved in. had involved. Baudin had two corvettes for this purpose: Le Géographe (The Geographer ) with 24 cannons under his own command and Le Naturaliste (The Naturalist) with 10 cannons under the frigate captain and later Rear Admiral Emmanuel Hamelin (1768-1839). When they set sail in Le Havre in October, the Second Coalition War, in which Spain and the Batavian Republic ( Netherlands ) were allied with France, was in full swing. Purely scientific undertakings like that of Baudin, however, the warring powers issued mutual letters of protection.
As the zoologist Jean-Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent (1778–1846) writes, no expedition had been better composed until then. Baudin was under no less than 22 researchers (more specialists than generalists ) and 29 officers (including two frigate captains , five lieutenants , but also cadets ), with whom he could not easily assert himself as an autodidact in the sciences and as a former captain of the merchant navy. There was no team spirit like on the previous expedition.
The first stop was again Tenerife. The onward journey took longer than usual, and on the Île de France, which was isolated by the war, Baudin was unable to take care of himself in March / April 1801. Riedle, who fell from a rock on Tenerife, botanized again. On the other hand, sailors deserted to go on a pirate voyage . The doyen of the scientists, the botanist André Michaux (1746–1802), left the expedition team with his gardeners Jean-François Cagnet (* 1756) and Merlot. His example was followed by the astronomer Frédéric Bissy (1768–1834), the botanist Jacques Delisse (1773–1856), the zoologists Bory and Désiré Dumont, the painters Michel Garnier (1753–1829) and Jacques Milbert (1766–1829) because of actual or alleged illness . 1840) and the draftsman Louis Lebrun. This was blamed on the expedition leader, but the dangers and privations of the seafaring at that time and especially a trip into the unknown may have contributed to it.
In May, Baudin reached Cape Leeuwin , the south-western tip of New Holland (Australia). Delayed in relation to the itinerary, he did not go straight to Van Diemens' Land ( Tasmania ) as planned . Instead, he followed the inaccessible west coast of New Holland, where there was almost no fresh water. The mineralogist Charles Bailly (1777–1844) described the few Aborigines they met as "closer to the natural state and wilder than any other people". In the Geographe Bay named by Baudin after his ship, his sloop capsized , for which Baudin's deputy frigate captain Alexandre Le Bas de Sainte-Croix (1759-1828) was responsible. Le Géographe and Le Naturaliste lost contact with each other. Because of insubordination, Baudin Fähnrich zur See Antoine Furcy Picquet (1777–1831) released his duty and took over one of the five guards himself .

In August and September the ships arrived in Kupang (West Timor), a base of the Batavian Republic, to replenish their supplies . The local population, according to Bailly, was "gentle, happy and reasonably civilized". Engineer François-Michel Ronsard (1769–1836) built a new sloop. Baudin handed Picquet, who challenged him to a duel with sabers , to the governor for imprisonment and repatriation to France. He had a tomb erected for his travel companion and chief gardener Riedle, who died in October of an infection of the digestive tract . He himself fell ill with tuberculosis . Le Bas, who made himself Picquet's advocate, dueled Ronsard and was left with a pistol shot in his arm.
In November, the expedition, circumnavigating New Holland counterclockwise, crossed to Van Diemens' Land , whose west coast, namely the D'Entrecasteaux Canal , they explored from January to March 1802. The French tried to make friends with the Tasmanians . These Aborigines, isolated from the mainland since the Ice Age, who were later exterminated by the English, were increasingly hostile to them after initial expressions of sympathy. In March, the astronomer Pierre-François Bernier (1779–1803) observed one solar and one lunar eclipse one after the other .
When Baudin and Hamelin lost contact again, the latter headed for Port Jackson, the port of Sydney in the English colony of New South Wales founded in 1788 . Bailly praised the human rights activist Henri Grégoire (1750-1831) that the Aborigines were treated there with consideration. There are no slaves. Meanwhile, Baudin drove back through Bass Strait and the south coast of Australia to the Nuyts Archipelago . He met, also in April 1802, in the Encounter Bay (meeting bay ) with the English Commander Matthew Flinders (1774-1814), who with a smaller research team as Baudin from December 1801 on the Sloop Investigator the said coast in an easterly direction had explored.
After sailing around Tasmania, Baudin also sought refuge in Sydney, where he stayed from June to November and spoke to Flinders again before he set off northwards for the first circumnavigation of Australia in July. The Governor of New South Wales, Philip Gidley King (1758-1808), granted Baudin support and credit , especially since the news of the peace agreement between France and England had arrived in the meantime. Bought for exploring of shallow bays Baudin the built in Sidney saver Le Casuarina (The kangaroo tree ), he Ensign Louis de Freycinet (1779-1842) assumed. In December he separated on King Island (Tasmania) from Hamelin, who brought the natural history material collected up to that point back to Le Havre via the Île de France in June 1803. The former slave trader Baudin now seems to have become an advocate of human rights , as he wrote to Governor King on the island named after him: “(...) I could never have imagined that it was fair or even honorable for Europeans to meet in the name of your government, seize a country that you will see for the first time when it is inhabited by people who (...) were children of nature (...) "
Baudin and Freycinet followed the south coast of Australia separately, but met again in February 1803 in King George Sound (Western Australia). In May the two ships were again in Kupang. There, in March / April, the Flinders sailing in the opposite direction had also taken care of itself. Baudin's team was exhausted from scurvy . The botanist Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour (1773-1826) was prevented from continuing his journey due to illness, was later blocked on Java and was only able to return to France in 1807. Baudin, on the other hand, continued the expedition despite his tuberculosis in June 1803, but had to turn around in July due to adverse winds near Arnhem Land ( Northern Territory ). In August he reached Port-Louis on the Île de France, where he succumbed a month later. Le Casuarina was left behind. The command of Le Géographe took over Hamelin's deputy lieutenant to the sea Pierre-Bernard Milius (1773-1829), who had left the expedition in Sidney and had traveled from July 1802 to February 1803 via Canton to Port-Louis. The ship set sail in December and landed in Lorient in March 1804 after a stop at the Cape of Good Hope .
Of the researchers and artists, only Bailly, the hydrograph Charles-Pierre Boullanger (1772–1813), the geographer Pierre Faure (1777–1855), the gardener Antoine Guichenot (1783–1867), the painter Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778– 1846), Péron and the painter Nicolas-Martin Petit (1777–1804) the expedition. Like Baudin and Riedle, the zoologist Stanislas Levillain (1774–1801) and Maugé, who had already been part of the Belle Angélique team , Bernier, the mineralogist Louis Depuch (1774–1803) and the gardener Antoine Sautier († 1801) did not see France again.
In 1804 Bory published a work on the first part of the expedition, which paints a different picture of Baudin than Boos and Ledru. He accuses him of having abused the mission for private business and seeing the scholars as useless eaters. In 1806 Napoleon approved the printing of Péron's travelogue, which leaves no opportunity to tarnish Baudin's reputation, or even to name him. Probably because Picquet once saved his life, Péron conceals the reasons for his punishment as well as the duel between Le Bas and Ronsard. After Péron's death, Freycinet and others completed the report. Baudin could no longer defend himself. The two diaries he kept on this trip (one official and one private) did not appear in print until 1974 and 2000, respectively. Returning to England, Flinders, who had already been shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef , was held on the Île de France for seven years by the captain-general of French India, Charles-Matthieu-Isidore Decaen , so that he only kept his records shortly before Death could publish. That is why Freycinet went down in history as the author of the oldest general map of Australia.
If Baudin discovered even smaller parts of the Australian coast, the scientific yield of his expedition was even greater. Numerous geographical names are reminiscent of their members and their ships, while von Baudin used such as Terre Napoléon for Australia's southeast coast did not prevail. There were commemorative events and publications to mark the 200th anniversary of the meeting between Baudin and Flinders. In 2005, a monument was erected to the French navigator in Busselton on Geographe Bay .
