An exploration boat, the Astrolabe, a sailing ship of 55 m, built in 1811, carried out its first trip around the world under the command of Duperrey between 1822 and 1825 under its initial name of "the Shell" "la Coquille". Renamed in 1825 as the Astrolabe after the name of the ship of Perugia, disappeared in 1788, this corvette made its second circumnavigation trip from 1826 to 1829, under the command of Dumont d' Urville. This trip came several times close to being fatal to the Astrolabe, during memorable storms. The Astrolabe traveled around New Zealand, Fiji island, and New Caledonia.
Between 1837 and 1840, at the time of a third circumpolar trip, Dumont d' Urville reached in the south of the Indian Ocean, beyond several icebergs, and in the medium of the ices, a ground which it named after the first name of his wife: Adélie coast, on the Antarctic continent. This expedition was the first to come so close to the South Pole. Dumont d' Urville, as-with, had the bad luck to him to form part of the victims of the first accident of train of the history which has occurred in France in 1842, in Meudon.
