More information

He was a member of the Académie de Marine from 1774. He commanded the 50-gun Experiment in the American Revolutionary War, and then commanded the frigate Astrée in the Hudson Bay expedition under his friend La Pérouse's orders.



For Fleuriot de Langle's expertise, knowledge of math and astronomy, and force of character, La Pérouse chose him as his deputy for his next expedition, commanding the 114-man frigate Astrolabe (accompanied by the Boussole) on a voyage of exploration into the Pacific Ocean.
