Association With Matthew Flinders
The Lady Nelson is also associated with Matthew Flinders. In 1802 Lady Nelson intended to accompany Flinders' other survey ship, the Investigator, in surveying the coast north of Port Jackson, into what is now Queensland. However, she accompanied the Investigator only as far as the Cumberland Islands when Flinders decided she was too slow and unseaworthy and sent her back.
