Description

In 1788, the La Pérouse expedition sailed out of Botany Bay in two French ships. Neither was ever seen again. Sent by King Louis XVI to explore the Pacific, the Boussole and Astrolabe became one of the greatest mysteries in maritime history—until their shipwrecks and evidence of survivors were discovered at Vanikoro in the Solomon Islands. In this Buried Earth video, we follow the lost expedition, the decades-long search and the maritime archaeology that revealed what happened to the ships—and the extraordinary evidence that some survivors built another vessel and vanished all over again.
