September 1850
Sweden-Norway had lately begun to seek prowess as a great power through scientific expeditions which added on its work Botanica Siamica that documented much of the vegetation and some animals as well found within the kingdom of Siam. The soon to be known formal expedition to the Polar Regions was hopefully soon to be known.
And meanwhile it was thought that perhaps a joint scientific expedition with Denmark would bear fruit if they were to explore and document the geology, flora and fauna in Danish West Africa. It was suggested that young aspiring and prominent geologists, botanists and geographers from the whole Sweden-Norway and Denmark be sent with a Swedish escort the frigate HMS Eugenie and the ocean streamer HMS Upptäckten which had previously been used for the scientific and diplomatic journeys between Siam and Sweden most notably between 1842-47.
