'''Abel Janszoon Tasman''' (((IPA-nl|ˈɑbəl ˈjɑnsoːn ˈtɑsmɑn|lang)); 1603((snd))10 October 1659) was a Dutch [[sea explorer|seafarer]] and [[exploration|explorer]], best known for his voyages of 1642 and 1644 in the service of the [[Dutch East India Company]] (VOC).

Born in 1603 in [[Lutjegast]], Netherlands, Tasman started his career as a [[merchant]] seaman and became a skilled [[navigator]]. In 1633, he joined the VOC and sailed to [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]], now Jakarta, Indonesia. He participated in several voyages, including one to Japan. In 1642, Tasman was appointed by the VOC to lead an expedition to explore the uncharted regions of the [[Southern Pacific Ocean]]. His mission was to discover new trade routes and to establish trade relations with the native inhabitants. After leaving Batavia, Tasman sailed westward to Mauritius, then south to the [[Roaring Forties]], then eastward, and reached the coast of Tasmania, which he named [[Van Diemen's Land]] after [[Anthony van Diemen|his patron]]. He then sailed north east, and discovered the west coast of New Zealand, which he named ''Staten Landt'', but later renamed ''Nieuw Zeeland'' after the Dutch province of [[Zeeland]].

Despite his achievements, Tasman's expedition was not entirely successful. The encounter with the [[Māori people]] on the [[South Island]] of New Zealand resulted in a violent confrontation, which left four of Tasman's men dead. He returned to Batavia without having made any significant contact with the native inhabitants or establishing any trade relations. Nonetheless, Tasman's expedition paved the way for further exploration and colonization of Australia and New Zealand by the British. Tasman continued to serve the Dutch East India Company until his death in 1659, leaving behind a legacy as one of the greatest explorers of his time.

Abel Tasman was born around 1603 in [[Lutjegast]], a small village in the [[Groningen (province)|province of Groningen]], in the north of the Netherlands. The oldest available source mentioning him is dated 27 December 1631 when, as a seafarer living in Amsterdam, the 28-year-old became engaged to marry 21-year-old Jannetje Tjaers, of Palmstraat in the [[Jordaan]] district of the city.<ref name="amsterdam">((Cite web|date=2017-12-01|title=Ondertrouw Registers 1565–1811, Zoek|url=https://archief.amsterdam/indexen/ondertrouwregisters_1565-1811/zoek/query.nl.pl?i1=1&a1=Tasman&x=20&z=a|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201182016/https://archief.amsterdam/indexen/ondertrouwregisters_1565-1811/zoek/query.nl.pl?i1=1&a1=Tasman&x=20&z=a|url-status=dead|archive-date=2017-12-01|access-date=2021-07-04))</ref><ref>((Cite web|title=Groom Abel Jansen Tasman|url=https://archief.amsterdam/indexen/deeds/a3ea42a0-67f9-4ae9-924c-4fbad946f4e0?person=961f6b21-c34b-53f7-e053-b784100aa83b|access-date=2021-07-04|website=Municipality of Amsterdam City Archives))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.genealogieonline.nl/stamboom-helmantel/I25050.php|title=Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603–1659) » Stamboom Helmantel |first=Klaas|last=Pera|website=Genealogie Online|access-date=19 October 2019|archive-date=23 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180723093930/https://www.genealogieonline.nl/stamboom-helmantel/I25050.php|url-status=live))</ref>

== Relocation to the Dutch East Indies ==

Employed by the [[Dutch East India Company]] (VOC), Tasman sailed from [[Texel]] (Netherlands) to [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]], now Jakarta, in 1633 taking the southern [[Brouwer Route]]. While based in Batavia, Tasman took part in a voyage to [[Seram Island]] (in what is now the Maluku Province in Indonesia) because the locals had sold spices to other European nationalities than the Dutch. He had a narrow escape from death when in an incautious landing several of his companions were killed by the inhabitants of the island.<ref>((Cite Australian Dictionary of Biography|id2=tasman-abel-janszoon-2716|title=Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603–1659)|first=J.

By August 1637, Tasman was back in Amsterdam, and the following year he signed on for another ten years and took his wife with him to Batavia. On 25 March 1638 he tried to sell his property in the Jordaan, but the purchase was cancelled.<!--; in 1650, while living in the East Indies, it was sold to the same man.<ref>[http://stadsarchief.amsterdam.nl/archieven/archiefbank/indexen/transportakten_voor_1811/zoek/query.nl.pl?i1=1&v1=Abel&a1=Tas*&i2=2&p2=p&y2=1620&z2=1660&x=14&z=a City Archives Amsterdam ]</ref>-->

He was second-in-command of a 1639 expedition of exploration into the north Pacific under [[Matthijs Quast]]. The fleet included the ships ''Engel'' and ''Gracht'' and reached [[Fort Zeelandia (Taiwan)|Fort Zeelandia]] ([[Dutch Formosa]]) and [[Deshima]] (an [[artificial island]] off [[Nagasaki]], [[Japan]]).

==First major voyage==
In August 1642, the [[Council of the Indies (Dutch)|Council of the Indies]], consisting of [[Antonie van Diemen]], [[Cornelis van der Lijn]], [[Joan Maetsuycker]], Justus Schouten, [[Salomon Sweers]], Cornelis Witsen, and Pieter Boreel in Batavia dispatched Tasman and Franchoijs Jacobszoon Visscher on a voyage of exploration to little-charted areas east of the [[Cape of Good Hope]], west of [[Isla de los Estados|Staten Land]] (near the [[Cape Horn]] of South America) and south of the [[Solomon Islands]].<ref>Andrew Sharp, ''The Voyages of Abel Janszoon Tasman,'' Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1968, p. 25.</ref>

One of the objectives was to obtain knowledge of "all the totally unknown" [[Provinces of Beach]].<ref name=":1">J.E. Heeres, "Abel Janszoon Tasman, His Life and Labours", ''Abel Tasman's Journal,'' Los Angeles, 1965, pp. 137, 141–42; cited in Andrew Sharp, ''The Voyages of Abel Janszoon Tasman,'' Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1968, p. 24.</ref> This was a purported yet [[phantom island|non-existent landmass]] said to have plentiful gold, which had appeared on European maps since the 15th century, as a result of an error in some editions of [[Marco Polo]]'s works.

The expedition was to use two small ships, ''[[Heemskerck (1638 ship)|Heemskerck]]'' and ''Zeehaen''.

===Mauritius===

In accordance with Visscher's directions, Tasman sailed from Batavia on 14 August 1642<ref name="robinsonlibrary">((cite web|url=http://www.robinsonlibrary.com/geography/geography/discoveries/tasman.htm|title=Abel Janszoon Tasman, the first known European explorer to reach Tasmania and New Zealand and to sight Fiji|publisher=robinsonlibrary.com|access-date=31 August 2015|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924091636/http://www.robinsonlibrary.com/geography/geography/discoveries/tasman.htm|url-status=usurped))</ref> and arrived at [[Mauritius]] on 5 September 1642, according to the captain's journal.<ref name="abeltasman.org"/> The reason for this was the crew could be fed well on the island; there was plenty of fresh water and timber to repair the ships. Tasman got the assistance of the governor [[Adriaan van der Stel]].

Because of the prevailing winds, Mauritius was chosen as a turning point. After a four-week stay on the island, both ships left on 8 October using the [[Roaring Forties]] to sail east as fast as possible. (No one had gone as far as [[Pieter Nuyts]] in 1626/27.) On 7 November, snow and hail influenced the ship's council to alter course to a more north-easterly direction,<ref name="gutenberg">((cite web|url=http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0600611.txt|title=ebooks06/0600611|via=Project Gutenberg Australia|access-date=31 August 2015|archive-date=8 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201008113814/http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0600611.txt|url-status=live))</ref> with the intention of having the [[Solomon Islands]] as their destination.

=== Tasmania ===
[[File:Coastal-cliffs Tasman-peninsula.jpg|thumb|Coastal cliffs of [[Tasman Peninsula]]]]

On 24 November 1642, Tasman reached and sighted the west coast of [[Tasmania]], north of [[Macquarie Harbour]].<ref name="nla">((cite web |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-ra265-s97 |title= Monumenta cartographica [cartographic material] : reproductions of unique and rare maps, plans and views in the actual size of the originals : accompanied by cartographical monographs ((pipe)) Original map of Tasmania in December 1642 |via=National Library of Australia |access-date=31 August 2015 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629165059/http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-ra265-s97 |url-status=live ))</ref> He named his discovery Van Diemen's Land, after [[Antonio van Diemen]], [[Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies]].

Proceeding south, Tasman skirted the southern end of Tasmania and turned north-east. He then tried to work his two ships into [[Adventure Bay, Tasmania|Adventure Bay]] on the east coast of [[South Bruny Island]], but he was blown out to sea by a storm. This area he named [[Storm Bay]]. Two days later, on 1 December, Tasman anchored to the north of Cape Frederick Hendrick just north of the [[Forestier Peninsula]]. On 2 December, two ship's boats under the command of the Pilot, Major Visscher, rowed through the Marion Narrows into Blackman Bay, and then west to the outflow of Boomer Creek where they gathered some edible "greens".<ref>Burney, J (1813) ''A Chronological History of the Voyage and Discoveries in the South Sea of Pacific Ocean'' L Hansard & Sons, London, p. 70, cited in Potts, B.M. et al (2006) ''Janet Sommerville's Botanical History of Tasmania'' University of Tasmania and TMAG</ref> Tasman named the bay, Frederick Hendrik Bay, which included the present North Bay, [[Marion Bay, Tasmania|Marion Bay]] and what is now Blackman Bay. (Tasman's original naming, Frederick Henrick Bay, was mistakenly transferred to its present location by [[Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne|Marion Dufresne]] in 1772). The next day, an attempt was made to land in North Bay. However, because the sea was too rough, a ship's carpenter swam through the surf and planted the Dutch flag. Tasman then claimed formal possession of the land on 3 December 1642.((sfn|Beazley|1911))

For two more days, he continued to follow the east coast northward to see how far it went. When the land veered to the north-west at [[Eddystone Point]],<ref>((cite book |last1=Schilder |first1=Günter |title=Australia unveiled : the share of the Dutch navigators in the discovery of Australia |date=1976 |publisher=Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Ltd. |location=Amsterdam |isbn=9022199975 |page=170))</ref> he tried to follow the coast line but his ships were suddenly hit by the [[Roaring Forties]] howling through Bass Strait.<ref>((cite book |last1=Valentyn |first1=Francois |title=Oud en nieuw Oost-Indien |date=1724–1726 |publisher=J. van Braam |location=Dordrecht |isbn=9789051942347 |page=vol. 3, p. 47))</ref> Tasman was on a mission to find the Southern Continent not more islands, so he abruptly turned away to the east and continued his continent-hunting.<ref>((cite book |last1=Cameron-Ash |first1=M. |title=Lying for the Admiralty |date=2018 |publisher=Rosenberg |location=Sydney |isbn=9780648043966 |page=105))</ref>

Tasman had intended to proceed in a northerly direction but as the wind was unfavourable he steered east. The expedition endured a rough voyage and in one of his diary entries Tasman claimed that his compass was the only thing that had kept him alive.

After sailing north then east for five days, the expedition anchored about ((convert|7|km)) from the coast off what is now [[Golden Bay / Mohua|Golden Bay]]. A group of [[Māori people|Māori]] paddled out in a [[waka (canoe)|waka]] (canoe) and attacked some sailors who were rowing between the two Dutch vessels. Four sailors were clubbed to death with [[patu]].<ref name = "Moon">((cite book |last1=Moon |first1=Paul |title=Turning Points |date=2013 |publisher=New Holland |isbn=978-1-86966-379-7 |page=19))</ref>((blockquote|In the evening about one hour after sunset we saw many lights on land and four vessels near the shore, two of which betook themselves towards us. When our two boats returned to the ships reporting that they had found not less than thirteen fathoms of water, and with the sinking of the sun (which sank behind the high land) they had been still about half a mile from the shore. After our people had been on board about one glass, people in the two canoes began to call out to us in gruff, hollow voices. We could not in the least understand any of it; however, when they called out again several times we called back to them as a token answer. But they did not come nearer than a stone's shot. They also blew many times on an instrument, which produced a sound like the moors' trumpets. We had one of our sailors (who could play somewhat on the trumpet) play some tunes to them in answer."<ref name="abeltasman.org"/>)) As Tasman sailed out of the bay he observed 22 waka near the shore, of which "eleven swarming with people came off towards us". The waka approached the ''Zeehaen'' which fired and hit a man in the largest waka holding a small white flag.

The expedition then sailed north, sighting [[Cook Strait]], which separates the North and South Islands of New Zealand, and which it mistook for a [[bight (geography)|bight]] and named "Zeehaen's Bight". Two names that the expedition gave to landmarks in the far north of New Zealand still endure: [[Cape Maria van Diemen]] and [[Three Kings Islands]]. (''Kaap Pieter Boreels'' was renamed [[Cape Egmont]] by Captain [[James Cook]] 125 years later.)

En route back to Batavia, Tasman came across the [[Tonga]]n archipelago on 20 January 1643. While passing the [[Fiji|Fiji Islands]] Tasman's ships came close to being wrecked on the dangerous reefs of the north-eastern part of the Fiji group. He charted the eastern tip of [[Vanua Levu]] and [[Cikobia-i-Lau]] before making his way back into the open sea.

The expedition turned north-west towards [[New Guinea]] and arrived back in Batavia on 15 June 1643.((sfn|Beazley|1911))

== Second major voyage ==
Tasman left [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] on 30 January 1644 on his second voyage with three ships (''Limmen'', ''Zeemeeuw'' and the tender ''Braek''). He followed the south coast of New Guinea eastwards in an attempt to find a passage to the eastern side of [[New Holland (Australia)|New Holland]]. However, he missed the [[Torres Strait]] between New Guinea and Australia, probably due to the numerous reefs and islands obscuring potential routes, and continued his voyage by following the shore of the [[Gulf of Carpentaria]] westwards along the north Australian coast. He mapped the north coast of Australia, making observations on [[New Holland (Australia)|New Holland]] and its people.<ref name=Quanchi>Quanchi, ''Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Pacific Islands'', p. 237</ref> He arrived back in [[Batavia, Dutch East Indies|Batavia]] in August 1644.

From the point of view of the [[Dutch East India Company]], Tasman's explorations were a disappointment: he had neither found a promising area for trade nor a useful new shipping route. Although Tasman was received courteously on his return, the company was upset that Tasman had not fully explored the lands he found, and decided that a more "persistent explorer" should be chosen for any future expeditions.<ref>((cite web|title=Abel Tasman's great voyage|url=http://tpo.tepapa.govt.nz/ViewTopicExhibitDetail.asp?TopicFileID=0x000ae4f7|publisher=Tai Awatea-Knowledge Net|access-date=14 September 2011|archive-date=25 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425051818/http://tpo.tepapa.govt.nz/ViewTopicExhibitDetail.asp?TopicFileID=0x000ae4f7|url-status=live))</ref> For over a century, until the era of James Cook, Tasmania and New Zealand were not visited by Europeans; mainland Australia was visited, but usually only by accident.

== Later life ==
On 2 November 1644, Abel Tasman was appointed a member of the Council of Justice in Batavia. He went to Sumatra in 1646, and in August 1647 to Siam (now [[Thailand]]) with letters from the company to the King. In May 1648, he was in charge of an expedition sent to [[Manila]] to try to intercept and loot the Spanish silver ships coming from America, but he had no success and returned to Batavia in January 1649. In November 1649, he was charged and found guilty of having in the previous year hanged one of his men without trial, was suspended from his office of commander, fined, and made to pay compensation to the relatives of the sailor. On 5 January 1651, he was formally reinstated in his rank and spent his remaining years at Batavia. He was in good circumstances, being one of the larger landowners in the town. He died at Batavia on 10 October 1659 and was survived by his second wife and a daughter by his first wife. His property was divided between his wife and his daughter. In his will (dating from 1657<ref>((cite web|url=http://www1.nationaalarchief.nl/vitrine/wie_was_tasman.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080420083101/http://www.nationaalarchief.nl/vitrine/wie_was_tasman.html|url-status=dead|title=National Archives|archive-date=20 April 2008))</ref>), he left 25 guilders to the poor of his village, Lutjegast.<ref name="history-nz">((cite web|url=http://www.history-nz.org/discovery1.html|title=Abel Janszoon Tasman – New Zealand in History – Holland 1603–1659|author=Robbie Whitmore|publisher=history-nz.org|access-date=31 August 2015|archive-date=22 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181022074305/http://history-nz.org/discovery1.html|url-status=live))</ref>

==Legacy==
Tasman's ten-month voyage in 1642–43 had significant consequences. By circumnavigating Australia (albeit at a distance) Tasman proved that the small fifth continent was not joined to any larger sixth continent, such as the long-imagined Southern Continent. Further, Tasman's suggestion that New Zealand was the western side of that Southern Continent was seized upon by many European cartographers who, for the next century, depicted New Zealand as the west coast of a Terra Australis rising gradually from the waters around [[Tierra del Fuego]]. This theory was eventually disproved when Captain Cook circumnavigated New Zealand in 1769.<ref>((cite book |last1=Cameron-Ash |first1=M. |title=Lying for the Admiralty |date=2018 |publisher=Rosenberg |isbn=9780648043966 |pages=21–22))</ref>

In the Netherlands, many streets are named after him. In Lutjegast, the village where he was born, there is a museum dedicated to his life and travels.

Tasman's life was dramatised for radio in ''[[Early in the Morning (radio play)|Early in the Morning]]'' (1946) a play by [[Ruth Park]].
