About This Item

Trackable

NL:

Abel Tasman voer voor de VOC een ontdekkingstocht in 1642-1643. Hij ontdekte het huidige "Nieuw-Zeeland". Abel Tasman noemde het 'Stateland', in de veronderstelling dat het verbonden was met het Stateneiland van Zuid-Amerika. Nadat Hendrik Brouwer in 1643 bewees dat dit niet het geval was, werd de naam door Hollandse cartografen veranderd in 'Nova Zeelandia', naar de Nederlandse provincie Zeeland. De Britse luitenant James Cook vertaalde dit op zijn beurt naar New Zealand. (Bron: Wikipedia)

Abel Tasman sailed an exploring journey in 1642-1643 for the VOC. He discovered the current 'New-Zealand'. Abel Tasman named it 'Stateland', with the assumption that it was connected with the Statenisland of South-America. After Hendrik Brouwer proved this was not the case, the Dutch cartographers changed the name to 'Nova Zeelandia' after the Dutch county Zeeland. The British lieutenant James Cook renamed it to New Zealand. (Source: Wikipedia)
