'Astrolabe' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

The Astrolabe was a French ship that set sail in 1826, under the command of Jules Dumont d'Urville, for a circumnavigation of the globe that would take almost 3 years. The ship was, in turn, named for a navigational device that preceded the sextant.

From 1837 to 1840, d'Urville sailed again on the Astrolabe to explore the Antarctic regions.

From 1822-1825, the same ship had earlier circumnavigated the globe under a different name, the Coquille, and under a different commander, Louis-Isidore Duperrey, seconded by d'Urville.
