French explorers in New Zealand, 1769-1840: a list of manuscript material; Part I
ISABEL OLLIVIER
A French Government bursary enabled me, between October 1980 and November 1981, to carry out research in France on the manuscripts of the French explorers who visited New Zealand prior to 1840. In the course of that year, I located a considerable number of manuscripts, which have subsequently been copied and deposited in the Alexander Turnbull Library. This list is a record of my findings and an attempt to show what material in this field is now available in New Zealand.
Notes made during the year in France are contained in a set of nine books, the first six of which are blue, the last three, red. Each entry in the books is given an item number so that it can be quickly located. The books are to be kept with the manuscripts in the Turnbull Library; each reference in this list, therefore, has my personal reference number added in brackets: for example, (Blue Book 1:7). Organisation of the material: this list contains references to manuscript material drawn from nine French voyages which called at New Zealand between 1769 and 1840. The material is organised chronologically, grouped by expedition under the name of the commander. Where there were two ships in a single expedition, the commander’s ship is listed first. For each expedition, the following information is given:
NAME of Commander Name of ship/s Dates of stay in New Zealand from first sighting to day of departure. Ports or places where the ship anchored. For each ship, material is listed under the name of the author of the manuscript, arranged in order of rank, followed by miscellaneous or anonymous material. Charts and drawings are given last. For each manuscript, the following information is given, where known: NAME of author with dates of birth and death. Rank at the time of the visit to New Zealand, in French (and English).
Title of manuscript in language of original. Location of the original: institution and call number. My research reference number: e.g. (Blue Book 1:7) (see above). ATL: indicates that a copy of the manuscript is held in the Alexander Turnbull Library. Brief description of the manuscript. Reference to existing manuscript copies.

Bibliotheque du Port de Lorient 2P45.1, 10(1) (Blue Book VI: 138) ATL Muster roll. There are four muster rolls for this voyage: Departement du Port Louis—Role d’armement 1767 Departement de Nantes —Role d’armement 1767 Departement de Bengale—Role d’armement 1769 Departement de Lorient —Role de desarmement 1773 All four are held in the Bibliotheque du Port de Lorient; the roll drawn up in Bengal is listed here. Charts and Drawings
I have located 21 charts or drawings concerning New Zealand which come from the voyage of de Surville, but many of these are copies. There are in fact only five different subjects: 1 A chart of the northern part of New Zealand skirted by de Surville 12-16 December 1769. 2 A chart of Lauriston (Doubtless) Bay where the St Jean Baptiste was anchored. 3 A full length portrait of Ranginui, the chief captured by de Surville in Lauriston Bay. 4 A sketch of a number of artefacts. 5 Three sketches: (a) of a fortified village on a mountain; (b) of a food platform and framework for drying nets; (c) of a house.
Few of the charts or drawings are signed although several of them are contained within the journal of Pottier de l’Horme, which suggests he may have been the artist. To show the relationship between the various versions, I have arranged the references in a table below. I am unable to identify the ‘original’ of any of the items and would like to emphasise that manuscripts with the same call number do not necessarily form a set, the exception being those appearing in the same journal: AN Marine 4JJ. 143.25 and BN(MSS)NAF 9436. Titles in French: 1 Carte de la partie de la Nouvelle Zelande decouverte par le vaisseau le St Jean Baptiste En Decembre 1769 et levee par le Sr Pottier de l’Horme. 2 Plan particulier de la Baye Loriston a la Cote de la Nouvelle Zelande.
3 Chef de Sauvages de la Nouvelle Zelande tire au Naturel. 4 Armes, Idoles et Instruments des Sauvages de la nouvelle Zelande. 5 Vue d’une montagne ou les Insulaires de la Nouvelle Zelande sont retranches avec leurs maisons; echauffaudages qui sont au pied de leurs montagnes pour conserver leurs poissons; piquets pour mettre leur filet au sec; maison de sauvages.

Charts and Drawings So far, 11 charts and drawings from the New Zealand part of this voyage have been located. They cover four subjects: 1 A chart of the northern part of New Zealand (2 versions) 2 A chart of the Bay of Islands (Port Marion) (5 versions) 3 A plan of a New Zealand village (2 versions) 4 A sketch of a New Zealand canoe (2 versions) The two drawings of‘New Zealand canoes’ have been included with this voyage because they are catalogued with Marion du Fresne material in the Bibliotheque Nationale, but there is nothing to link them conclusively with this voyage. All but one chart are held in Portfolio 189 in the Departement des Cartes et Plans of the Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris. The exception is a chart of the Bay of Islands, held in the Peabody Museum, Salem, Massachusetts.

ENTRECASTEAUX, Antoine Raymond Joseph Bruni d’ Recherche and Esperance 11-12 March 1793 Off the Northern Coast of New Zealand; Three Kings Islands
A considerable body of material, both historical and scientific, remains from the voyage of D’Entrecasteaux. However, the two ships had only the briefest contact with New Zealand: the Recherche hove-to off the Northern coast to wait for the Esperance and to trade with natives who approached in canoes. In the following list, therefore, I have included only those journals giving an account of that meeting and some containing navigational details concerning the Three Kings Islands. Entrecasteaux, Antoine Raymond Joseph Bruni d’ (1739-1793) Contre-amiral. Commandant (Rear Admiral. Commander) ‘Notes a ajouter au journal’. AN Marine 5JJ.6 (Blue Book 1:10) ATL D’Entrecasteaux’s own journal; very difficult to read, full of crossingsout. The text of this part of the journal corresponds closely to Rossel’s printed account of the voyage.
Hesmivy d’Auribeau, Alexandre d’ (1760-1794) Capitaine de Vaisseau (Captain) ‘Entrevue avec les naturels de la Nile. Zelande’. AN Marine 5JJ.6 (Blue Book 1:9) ATL An account of the meeting with the natives. Although this document is anonymous, it corresponds exactly to one signed by d’Hesmivy d’Auribeau (AN Marine SJJ.I3 6 ). ‘Suite Dujournal Du Voyage au Tour Du Monde fait a Bord De la fregate La Recherche Commandee Par M D’Entrecasteaux . . .’. AN Marine SJJ.I3 4 (Blue Book 1:19) ATL A navigational journal, to be read in conjunction with the historical journal (AN Marine 5JJ.6). Willaumez, Jean Baptiste Enseigne de Vaisseau. Chef de Pilotage (Ensign. Navigator) ‘Journal continue de la Campagne de la recherche et de l’Esperance autour du monde sous les Ordres de Monsieur D’Entrecasteaux . . .
Tenu par le Sr. Willaumez aine officier a bord pendant les annees 1791, 92, 93, 94, 95’. AN Marine SJJ.5 2 ATL Journal with an account of the meeting as well as navigational notes.
LONGUERUE, Enseigne de Vaisseau (Ensign) ‘Journal de L’expedition De la Recherche de Mr De la peyrouse commende par Mr D’entrecasteaux contre amiral de france, montant la Recherche . . .’. AN Marine SJJ. 10 (Blue Book 1:16) ATL Journal with a very brief account of the meeting.

AN Marine 3JJ.397 (Blue Book V:112 and 106) ATL Three copies of this journal exist, the first two in Paris, the third under the name of ‘Piron’ in the Mitchell Library, Sydney.

ROLL of the Recherche. ‘Role d’equipage de la Recherche. La Campagne commence le 21 Septembre 1791. Depart de la rade de Brest’. Archives du Port de Brest —AN Marine CC 6 34 (Blue Book VI: 134) ATL Muster roll of the Recherche. Gives information about promotions but very little personal detail.
Charts and Drawings Because of the very short time spent in New Zealand, there is very little pictorial material from this visit. The familiar engraving of two natives which appears in Labillardiere’s published account seems to be the only drawing, but there are some charts and coastal profiles. Charles-Franfois B EAUTEMPS-BE was responsible for the following: 1 ‘Carte de la Partie Nord de la Nouvelle Zelande Reconnue le 11 Mars 1793’. The North part of New Zealand.
