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.

Famous quotes containing the words association and/or matthew:
“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 24:6.
