Balduin Möllhausen

German traveler, writer and artist (1825–1905)

Balduin Möllhausen is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.

The record lists Balduin Möllhausen as German traveler, writer and artist (1825–1905).

Balduin Möllhausen was born at Bonn in 1825. His recorded nationality is Germany.

Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.

He is recorded as explorer, writer and traveler.

What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.

Balduin Möllhausen died in 1905, aged 80. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
