About Johann Reinhold Forster

Johann Reinhold Forster (1729 - 1798) was originally a clergyman in Danzig, but became a naturalist who accompanied James Cook on his second journey around the world in 1772 - 1773. He discovered five new species of penguin, but his poor reputation as a troublemaker destroyed his career in England and he went to Germany. Here he maintained his unpleasant nature to the end by refusing to relinquish his notes on his adventures with Cook. Forster's Tern (Sterna forsteri) (Gambia, 1999, 4 dalasy), is named after him.
