Sea explorer Matthew Flinders used several ships, as listed below.

The vessel in which Flinders circumnavigated Australia, The Investigator, had the following dimensions:

Length - 100 feet 6 inches, or 30.63m

Beam - 28 ft 6 in, or 8.69m

Draught - 15 ft, or 4.6m

Weight - 334 tons

When Flinders travelled north along the east coast, he captained the Lady Nelson. Dimensions were:

Length - 52 feet 6 inches, or 16m

Beam - 17 ft 6 in, or 5.33m

Draught - 6 ft, or 1.8m

When Flinders and Bass circumnavigated Tasmania (Van Diemen's Land), they were in the Tom Thumb, which was very small - only about 8 ft in length.
