Summary: "Narrative of the Circumnavigation of the Globe by the Austrian Frigate Novara" is an exploratory account written in the mid-19th century. This work details the voyage undertaken by the Austrian frigate Novara, under the command of Commodore B. von Wüllerstorf-Urbair, which was sent around the globe to enhance scientific knowledge and promote the interests of the Austrian Empire. The narrative documents the journey’s significant events and the impressions gathered about various cultures, geographies, and natural sciences observed during their travels. The opening of this narrative sets the stage for the expedition, outlining the preparations for embarking on a grand voyage that took place from 1857 to 1859. It emphasizes the voyage's dual objectives: providing practical knowledge to the Austrian navy and fulfilling scientific inquiry, which included a diverse scientific crew tasked with collecting data and specimens. The introduction also highlights the enthusiastic support from notable figures, including Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, and describes the meticulous outfitting of the ship, aiming for both comfort and efficiency for the lengthy journey. The narrative starts with the ship's departure and initial journey from Pola to Gibraltar, establishing an anticipatory tone for the adventures to follow.
