Read a private journal kept by Matthew Flinders while a prisoner in Mauritius [5]

After sailing with the famous Captain Bligh on the Providence, Flinders' adventures brought him to Australiaonboard the Reliance. In 1796 he explored the coastline around Sydney in a tiny open boat called Tom Thumb. Henext proved that Tasmania was an island by finding and sailing through Bass Strait.

His most successful voyage came between 1801 and 1803 when he charted the coastline of Australia, completingand linking together other partial surveys to give us the first complete picture of our island nation.

Flinders recorded his voyage on the HMS Investigator. Read more about his circumnavigation in the journals hekept on board the ship:

Matthew Flinders - journal on HMS Investigator, Volume 1, 1801-1802 [6]Matthew Flinders - journal on HMS Investigator, Volume 2, 1802-1803 [7]

Flinders was later shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. Remarkably, he managed to navigate the ship's cutteracross open sea back to Sydney, a distance of some 700 miles, and arranged for the rescue of the marooned crewon Wreck Reef.

On the return to England in 1803 Flinders stopped off in Mauritius for repairs. Away at sea and without news, hewas not aware that England and France were now at war and he was arrested as a spy on arrival in this Frenchcolony. His incarceration would last almost 7 years.

Later that year he wrote to Sir Joseph Banks mentioning "my general chart of Australia." He continued to promotethe name but could not convince Banks to endorse it. As a result, Flinders' book was published under the title AVoyage to Terra Australis.

The day after his book was published in 1814, Matthew Flinders died, aged only 40, but already with an indelibleplace in Australian history.'

Flinders lasting legacy is the name 'Australia' he gave to our country. He wrote to his brother: "I call the whole island Australia, or Terra Australis."

About this item: Signatures / Inscriptions: On the top locket is engraved "Gibbens Portsmouth"

General Note: It is unclear if this is a navy sword: if it was one would expect to see an anchor somewhereengraved, either on its langets or blade. It is probably not a dress sword: Philip J. Lankester, Senior Curator, RoyalArmouries, London.

It has not proved possible to accurately date the sword. The geometric blind embossed design on the scabbardwas considered old fashioned by 1800 (see P.G.W. Annis, Naval Swords, Arms and Armour Press, 1970 p. 44), butthe design of the stirrup hilt implies a ca. 1800, or later, date.

William Gibbons was a Portsmouth sword cutler who was working at the end of the eighteenth century : see W.E.May & P.G.W. Annis, Swords for Sea Service, London, 1970 vol. 2 p. 326
