1788 visited Queen Charlotte Sound AWR
2 ships Astrolabe and La Bousole and 224 crew and officers.
I think AWR is wrong and that La PEROUSE never visited NZ. Whilst he originally planned to visit he passed NZ to the south enroute to Botany Bay. After he left Botany Bay he was not heard of again and the two ships were wrecked Santa Cruz Islands ( part of Solomons).
OLWR does not mention that La PEROUSE visited NZ. Jean-Francois de Galaup de La Perouse was a French explorer in 1788.1
