The first gabares appeared around 1715 and were used for the transport of masting and framing timbers. One of the most famous gabares, "Le Gros Ventre", under the command of M. de St. Allouarn, carried the crew that discovered and claimed the west coast of Australia in 1772 for France. This volume also includes 34 plates, notes about the orlop deck, the water hold and barrels, metal work, rigging, contracts for the timbers, the paint and colours used on the original vessel and photos of a model built by Vincent Davenas.
