Following the three voyages of James Cook, French King Louis XVI had commanded a similar expedition be sent out by France. The La P\u00E9rouse expedition consisted of the frigates La Boussole, the flagship with Collignon in the crew, and L\u2019Astrolabe under the command of Fleuriot de Langle. The two ships left Brest on the 1 August 1785 and were last seen at Botany Bay, New Holland on 26 January 1788. Collignon was born in Metz, France in 1762. He was recommended for the voyage by Andr\u00E9 Thouin, Director of Horticulture at the Jardin du Roi. Collignon was just 24 and had previously only worked under the direction of Thouin, who judged him as \"active and intelligent\". Thouin in his recommendation emphasised that Collignon should not be subordinate to the expedition's botanist, Joseph Hugues Boissieu La Martini\u00E8re, and so the two were assigned to different ships. Collignon was permitted to assist the other naturalists provided this did not interfere with his principal mission."@en . . . . . . . . "Jean Nicolas Collignon"@en . . .
