Louis Francois Marie Aleno de Saint Aloüarn (25 July 1738 – 27 October 1772) was a notable French Navy officer and explorer. St Aloüarn was the first European to make a formal, but now unrecognised, claim of sovereignty — on behalf of France — over the west coast of Australia, which was known at the time as "New Holland". Much of this west coast had already been charted by other mariners from the Netherlands, following a landing by Dirk Hartog in 1616, who left a commemorative plaque recording his visit. James Cook, in 1770, had charted and claimed the east coast for Britain. When St Aloüarn visited New Holland in 1772, neither British nor Dutch officials had issued a formal claim over this western part of New Holland. However, the French claim over Western Australia was never secured by a

  • Louis François Marie Aleno de Saint-Aloüarn, né le 28 juillet 1738 au manoir de Saint-Aloüarn à Guengat près de Quimper (Bretagne) et mort le 27 octobre 1772 à Port-Louis (Île de France), est un officier de marine et explorateur français du XVIIIe siècle. Entré dans la Marine royale avant que n'éclate la guerre de Sept Ans, il sert pendant ce conflit et reçoit plusieurs commandements. C'est dans la Marine qu'il fait la connaissance d'Yves de Kerguelen qui le convainc de partir avec lui dans une expédition à destination des terres australes. En 1772, Saint-Aloüarn prend possession de l'Australie pour le compte du roi Louis XV. Il décède peu de temps après à Port-Louis en Isle de France. (fr)
  • Louis Aleno de Saint-Aloüarn o de St Aloüarn (Guengat, Finisterre, 1738 − Port Louis Isla de Francia, 27 de octubre de 1772), fue un oficial de marina y navegante francés, conocido por haber participado en 1772 en una expedición francesa a los mares antárticos en la que se descubrieron las islas Kerguelen y en la que el barco a su mando, el Gros Ventre, logró alcanzar las costas australianas. Saint-Aloüarn fue el primer europeo que hizo una reclamación formal de soberanía —tomando posesión en nombre del rey Luis XV— de la costa oeste de Australia,​que se conocía en ese momento como «Nueva Holanda». Aunque los indígenas australianos habían vivido allí durante miles de años, los imperios europeos de la era moderna a menudo no reconocían la soberanía de esos pueblos indígenas. (es)
