Philipp Franz von Siebold is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Philipp Franz von Siebold as German biologist and traveller (1796-1866).
Philipp Franz von Siebold was born at Würzburg in 1796. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as botanist, carcinologist and physician.
His recorded expeditions and events include Siebold Incident.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Recognition followed: Merit Order of the Bavarian Crown.
Philipp Franz von Siebold died in 1866, aged 70. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
