According to Günter Schilder's Voyage to the Great South Land, Willem de Vlamingh with a fleet of three ships, Geelvinck, Nijptangh and Weeseltje, undertook in 1696-97 the last large-scale voyage undertaken by the Dutch East India Company. One of its objectives was to investigate the disappearance of the Company's ships believed to have been wrecked on the coast of the Great South Land. In succeeding in this task Vlamingh was the first to arrive intentionally at the coast of Western Australia, then named Land of the Eendracht (a reference to Dirck Hartog's exploration aboard the Eendracht making the first recorded accidental discovery of this land in 1616). Vlamingh's crew first sited Rottnest Island on December 29, 1696. On January 4 1697 they began surveying the mainland coastline from Swan River up to Exmouth Gulf before departing for Batavia on February 21. Vlamingh in fact made a detailed chart of the Western Australian coastline in his ship's journal but that was subsequently lost in Batavia.
- Notes:
-
- Map of the coast of Western Australia originally sketched by Willem de Vlamingh in 1697 stretching from the Swan River north to Kalbarri. Block of text describes various topographic features on the map where Vlamingh landed as well as general observations. Decorative features include rhumb lines and two coloured compass roses. Relief is shown pictorially and depth shown by bathymetric soundings. After Vlamingh's fleet arrived back in Batavia, Victor Victorszoon was commissioned to redraw Vlamingh's journal sketches which included the chart of the western coastline of the Great South Land. This reproduction was to be stored away in the archives of the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) until Gerard van Keulen obtained access and copied it retaining much of its original detail though the layout was altered, decorative features reduced and the text mentioning Rottnest Island omitted.
