The plaque commemorates Pierre Roussel, founder of the La Perouse Museum.
The Museum opened in 1988 and tells the story of the La Perouse expedition, its arrival in Boatany Bay in 1788 and encounter with the First Fleet, and eventual shipwreck in the Solomon Islands. Through a program of changing temporary exhibitions, the museum also looks at the Aboriginal environment and local history La Perouse.
The collection contains 2,000 items, relating to either the La Perouse expedition, French 18th century maritime navigation, the Cable Station building itself, or local history.
