摘要

Abrilliant brooch of gold with glittering gemstone eyes, the Rattlesnake brooch, on display in the Treasures Gallery, brings to view a remarkable story of the days of British naval survey ships in Australian waters and touches Australian history at several important points.The post-Napoleonic period from 1815 heralded a new era of opportunity for Britain and her navy to build on her earlier voyages of exploration. Now the British Admiralty looked to deploy her demobilised naval officers, currently on half pay, on survey expeditions to remote regions of the world for the purpose of mapping and charting their unknown shorelines, opening safe passages for trade routes and consolidating Imperial influence. Linking geography and science, these surveys adopted increasingly sophisticated knowledge of astronomy, meteorology and magnetism with navigational skills.
