The corvette Galathea made a voyage to the Pacific in 1845-47. Bille, the commander, published a book on the subject Beretning om Corvette 'Galathea's' Reiseomkring Jorden 1845, 46, og 47, 3 vols (Copenhagen, 1849-51).

The papers largely concern the organisation and financing of the Galathea expedition. There are some letters by Bille to the Danish Admiralty and the Generaltoldkammer og Commerce Collegium concerning his visit to Hawaii. They also concern the treaty signed between Hawaii and Denmark on this occasion. All are in Danish. There are also some cuttings from The Polynesian and two printed copies of the Hawaiian-Danish Treaty.

Mgr Collomb, of the Society of Mary, was Bishop of Antipheles and Vicar Apostolic of Melanesia and Micronesia

The journal is in three exercise books:

Vol.1: November 1845 - March 1847, includes voyage from Europe to Sydney
Vol.2: April 1847 to Collomb's death in July 1848. It includes an account of the abandonment of the Marist mission at San Cristobal, 3 November 1847, and the arrival at Woodlark Island, 15 November 1847; also the division of the missionaries, 9 May 1848, with Montrouzier, Thomassin and Bro. Aristide remaining on Woodlark, and Collomb, Fremont, Villien and Bro. Optat starting a mission on Rook (Umboi) Island.
Vol.3: A collection of copies of letters and an account of events remembered by Collomb beginning April 1847. (Collomb mislaid his journal for a time and believed it lost. He tried to reconstruct it from memory. Then the journal was found and continued.)
