THE "INVESTIGATOR"
HMS Investigator was the mercantile Fram, launched in 1795, which the Royal Navy purchased in 1798 and
renamed HMS Xenophon, and then in 1801 converted to a survey ship under the name HMS Investigator.
In 1802, under the command of Matthew Flinders, she was the first ship to circumnavigate Australia. The
Navy sold her in 1810 and she returned to mercantile service under the name Xenophon. She was probably
broken up c.1872.
