The Astrolabe Stuck In Sea Ice
The Astrolabe Stuck In Sea Ice February 6, 1838 (L’astrolabe faisant de l’eau sur un glaçon le 6 AN GEARRAN 1838). Atlas dealbh a, Plàta 20 de 22 [Atlas dealbh a, planche 20 (22)] c1846 leis a’ pheantair Frangach Louis Le Breton (1818 – 1866) and Engraver who specialized in creating maritime artwork.
Is e seo an gràbhaladh of the French Exploration ship the L’astrolabe; that was originally a horse barge named the Coquille (Shell); which was later converted into a ship of exploration, and who’s name was changed in 1825, to that of a previous ship that had disappeared in 1788.
In this engraving by Louis Le Breton (who became the official illustrator after the previous illustrator died), chì sinn an L’astrolabe an sàs ann an deigh na mara agus an sgioba a’ feuchainn ri a saoradh.
Air an làimh dheis fada air falbh tha bàta eile, an Zelle a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith glaiste ann an deigh na mara cuideachd, le sgioba an t-soithich sin a' dèanamh an dìcheall gus a leigeil ma sgaoil à grèim reòthte na mara.
Air a bheulaibh agus air a chùlaibh, a bharrachd air a bhith timcheall air na soithichean tha ulpagan mòra deigh le badan de shealladh fosgailte, agus eòin-mhara ag itealaich os cionn na sgioba obrach air taobh deas an t-seallaidh; a tha air an suidheachadh an aghaidh speur a tha glè sgòthach a tha air a shoillseachadh timcheall an oir le solas na grèine.
An turas gu Antartaig a tha an gràbhaladh seo a’ sealltainn, bha e fo stiùir Jules Sébastien César Dumont d’Urville (1790 – 1842), Oifigear Nèibhi, Neach-rannsachaidh Frangach, Luibh-eòlaiche agus neach-cartographer (Riochdaire Mapaichean); that conducted several expeditions to Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, South Pacific and Western Pacific.
Is e seo ath-riochdachadh seann mhaighstirean ealain didseatach ath-leasaichte de ìomhaigh fearann poblach a tha ri cheannach mar a clò-bhualadh canabhas air-loidhne.
