George Bass
We talk about Bass and Flinders today because of their bravery and epic adventures they did back in their day.
Bass married a beautiful girl called Elizabeth Waterhouse. She was devastated when Bass never came back from his last voyage on the Venus.
Bass lived till he was 32 and his death was unknown for when he set sail on the Venus in 1803 he was never to be seen again. Some thought that he was a smuggler and made a suicide attempt.
