Explorers
Abel Tasman
Born in 1603 in the Netherlands, Abel Tasman was a Dutch navigator and explorer who, in service of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), became the first European to reach Tasmania and New Zealand during his 1642-43 voyage. He also effectively circumnavigated Australia without sighting its east coast. Though deemed a commercial failure in his time, his charts and discoveries provided the knowledge base for James Cook's Pacific explorations a century later. Tasmania and the Tasman Sea bear his name.
