1785年8月1日,剌培鲁斯公爵带领法国两艘远洋船(“指南针号”和“天体仪号”)自布雷斯特港出发开始了长达三年的环球航行。按照航行计划,船队应当于1788年夏返回。但是,自1788年春以来,船队便杳无音讯。大量资料显示,船队很可能在萨洛蒙群岛的瓦尼科罗岛附近遇难沉没。从1981年以来,法国相关部门在瓦尼科罗岛及其附近海域进行了大量考察和发掘工作。他们发现了大量的陶瓷残片,其中包括7808件中国瓷片。这批中国瓷片器物种类多样,质量不均,生产年代亦不统一。它们可能既有随船人员在航行中的生活用器,也包括随船人员私下贸易的货物。这批购买的瓷器很具体地反映了,这次科学考察航行同时肩负着其他贸易使命。
On August 1, 1785, the Duchy of La Perouse led two French ocean-going vessels (the Compass and the Astronomical Observations) for a three-year global voyage starting from Brest. According to the voyage plan, the fleet should return in the summer of 1788. However, the fleet has no news since the spring of 1788. A lot of information shows that the fleet is likely to sink in the Salomon Islands near the island of Vanic Coro sank. Since 1981, relevant French departments have conducted extensive inspections and excavations in the waters of Vanico Island and its vicinity. They found a large number of ceramic fragments, including 7808 Chinese tiles. These Chinese porcelain artifacts of various types, uneven quality, production age is not uniform. They may be both living appliances for the voyage by crew and also include goods traded privately by boarding personnel. The porcelain purchased in this batch reflects very specifically the scientific mission of voyage while shouldering other trade missions.
