Subject: RE: buganvilia From: Jack Campin Date: 26 Apr 19 - 03:26 PM I presume the allusion is to the domestic arrangements on board ship for Bougainville's circumnavigation of the world (which included the first woman to do it). Bougainville was a remarkably talented guy, perhaps better at his job than Captain Cook. |
