I repeat what I already said. For a scrupulous and thorough historian, the best, the most credible, the surest, almost the only way to know the true name of Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse is to refer to the time when he was living and right after. A great many sources of this time exist in regard with the Navigator and prove that his name was 'La Pérouse' and no other. Would His Majesty the King LOUIS XVI who signed his Promotion as a Commodore, his wife, his sister Victoire, all his relatives, all who knew him have not known his true name and written it in a wrong way ? The spelling 'Lapérouse' appeared in 1839, officially, fifty years after his disappearing. So all efforts to legalize today the name 'Laperouse' as far as the navigator is concerned are lost time and of no value. Jacques Thomas ( talk) 20:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
He signed his name Lapérouse that's why the Friends of the Lapérouse Museum (Sydney) use it - seen as header on Newsletters eg. http://laperousemuseum.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/vol-1-no-1-1990.pdf One of the founders of the Museum was a descendant. The head of the Laperouse family also uses one word Philipe de Lapérouse - this is a photo of him at the Museum http://laperousemuseum.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/web-with-laperouse.jpg and short bio http://www.highquestpartners.com/team/team-details-Philippe-de-Laperouse.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Botanybay1788 ( talk • contribs) 00:16, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

I sent hand drawings of the ring from inside and outside to a few but non can interpret. I checked with designs of countries of letters etc but non matches.
Ring is said from Europe perhaps in late 1700 or later. I couldn't get a photo as late but ring now on another island in the Solomon Islands. Any interest I will send drawings. Thank you. Andrew Andrew Terence Tekirua ( talk) 00:13, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
In May 1793, he arrived at the island of Vanikoro, which is part of the Santa Cruz group of islands (now part of the Solomon Islands). D'Entrecasteaux thought he saw smoke signals from several elevated areas on the island, but was unable to investigate due to the dangerous reefs surrounding the island and had to leave.
In reading thru this line I can't help but notice there is no citation. I did not see this referenced in the translation of Laibidierre's book. I can't connect to Duyker's article anymore either. Do we have a primary source citation at all that D'Entrecasteaux saw or thought he saw anything at Vanikoro?
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A000:122C:382:14C9:D32E:5DCC:14F ( talk) 04:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
I wasn't able to find any citation but I did find an offhand reference (without citation) by the author Alan Villiers who claimed he did see smoke. Now I'm totally baffled hownhebgot this info. See link

@ WCCasey: In this edit, you removed the redirect template with the comment "a proper name doesn't "mean" anything else, so no need to disambig", but if you look at La_Perouse (redirected from Lapérouse (disambiguation)), you'll find that there are three ships and a restaurant named "Lapérouse". Seems like an appropriate use of the redirect template to me. -- Macrakis ( talk) 14:54, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
The "Epilogue" and "Fate" sections are out of order, and should probably be rearranged. Adpete ( talk) 00:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
