LOUIS ISIDORE DUPERREY

'Louis Isidore Duperrey' (1786 - 1865) was a French sailor and explorer.
Duperrey joined the navy in 1802, and served as marine hydrologist to Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet aboard the ''Uranie'' (1817-1820). He commanded ''La Coquille'' on its circumnavigation of the earth (1822-25) with Jules Dumont d'Urville as second.
He is the first to put together on a map the whole Gilbert Islands archipelago (with the name given to it by Admiral Krusenstern).
