It depends on which journey you are referring to.
During his circumnavigation of Australia, Flinders' crew suffered badly from dysentery after taking on too much fruit at Timor in an attempt to ward off scurvy. As a result, Flinders lost at least seven of his crew, either during the rest of the trip or withi a few days of returning to Port Jackson. Also, his ship The Investigator leaked and rotted - by the time he returned to Sydney, it had to be condemned.
When Flinders was returning to England he was shipwrecked on a coral reef in 1803. Ships arrived to assist Flinders and his crew, and Flinders went aboard the schooner 'Minikin' rather than join the crew who travelled on a larger, sturdier ship. The 'Minikin' began to take on water and Flinders was forced to land at the Isle of France. However, he did not know that apparently England and France were at war, so he was detained on the island of Mauritius as a spy for many years. Although he was kept relatively well, his health did suffer. Also during this time, he lost his beloved ship's cat, Trim, who had sailed wth Flinders since 1799 (possibly 1797, according to varied sources). One night Trim disappeared, never to be seen again. Flinders was distraught, and during his next few years' internment at the island, penned an historic and little-known essay, a tribute to his beloved cat Trim. Flinders himself died soon after returning to England as a result of ill-health from his time in imprisonment.
Matthew Flinders faced several hardships during his voyages, including treacherous weather conditions, navigational challenges, and encounters with hostile Indigenous peoples. His 1801 expedition to map the Australian coastline was marked by difficult terrain and inadequate supplies, leading to struggles with food scarcity. Additionally, Flinders was shipwrecked in 1803 on his return journey, which resulted in him being captured and imprisoned by the French on Mauritius for several years. Despite these challenges, his determination and resilience contributed significantly to maritime exploration.
Many of Flinders's journeys were for the purpose of mapping the Australian continent, and filling in the gaps left by previous explorers.
