DescriptionNL-HaNA 1.11.01.01 121 0051 Scheepsjournaal Abel Tasman 12.jpg
Nederlands: Journaal van Abel Tasman Jansz., 1642
English: Journal of Abel Janszoon Tasman, December 1642. Coastal profiles of Cape Foulwind (near Westport, West Coast, South Island) and its surrounding landscape. This was the first area of New Zealand seen by Tasman. Each profile has a lengthy inscription in Dutch below it. Lower inscription reads: "Thus appears the Staten Landt to south of the rocky point when you sail along the coast and views of rocky point which appear thus as you can see here below." Staten Landt was the name given to New Zealand by Tasman; in later maps it appeared as New Zealand.
