The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the world's five oceans (followed by the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean). Strategically important access waterways include the La Perouse, Tsugaru, Tsushima, Taiwan, Singapore, and Torres Straits. The decision by the International Hydrographic Organization in the spring of 2000 to delimit a fifth ocean, the Southern Ocean, removed the portion of the Pacific Ocean south of 60 degrees south.
Hi Im really interested in La Perouse voyage around the world in 1787 and was wondering if there is a way I can get a list of 225 crew members on board that ship..please its really important.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to mention the Mariana Trench? You know, considering it's, uhh, the lowest place on Earth's crust...
