About the author

John Lort Stokes

1811–1885

A Royal Navy officer, explorer, and surveyor, he spent much of his career charting little-known coasts aboard HMS Beagle and later turned those experiences into a lively travel narrative. His work helped shape European knowledge of Australia and nearby waters in the mid-19th century.
