“…Communication across that empire was still largely by sea using fast mail ships. The building of the Suez Canal, a project led by the French but largely ignored by Britain, shortened passage times between Britain and India (Bell, 1965; see also https://wavellroom.com/ 2021/07/16/britain-suez-canal-strategy-1854-1882/, last access: 12 April 2022). Its opening in 1865 was a major event and presented an opportunity for a meeting of the world's maritime powers.…”

Abstract. This paper analyses the pioneering global voyages of HMS Challenger and SMS Gazelle in the 1870s – a time of rapid scientific advances and technological innovation. The voyage of Challenger has become well known as marking the start of the global-scale science of oceanography. The voyage of the Gazelle is much less well known despite the two voyages ending in the same year, 1876, and having similar geographical and scientific scope. Rather than focussing on the scientific achievements, the paper concentrates on how the expeditions were planned and executed, the lives and characters of the personnel involved, and the underlying motivation behind the voyages. The paper presents the author's translations of key elements of the Gazelle reports as a means of introducing the Gazelle expedition to an English-speaking readership.

“…That breeding or cross-breeding with Merinos did not constrain otherwise rapid reproduction rates had already excited attention. In 1805, Samuel Marsden wrote that both Merino and Bengal ewes "yeaned" at 18 months and then 3 times in an 18 month period (Bell 1970). The increase in numbers in New South Wales was not as great as in Norfolk Island and Tasmania; droughts and disease took their toll.…”
