- Notes:
-
- Map showing the outline of the southern and southwestern coastline of Van Dieman's Land [i.e. Tasmania] with no inland details and two ships in the foreground. These two ships are Abel Tasman's vessels the Heemskerck and the Zeehaen off the south and southwest coasts of Van Diemen's Land at latitude 42° 30ʹ South. Numbers on the map are linked to the places listed below the map, specifically these four discoveries made by Tasman in November 1642. However this map is poorly drawn because Boreels Eylanden are numbered on the map as if they were Mewstone Island and the Maatsuyker Islands first sited on Nov. 29 but Schilder clearly identifies Boreels Eylanden as Friars and Bruny Islands on the east side of Storm Bay as they passed up the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. On the map Storm Bay would appear to occupy the position of Frederick Henry Bay but the ship definitely passed through Storm Bay as it is referred to today. Zuyd Caep seems to correspond to Cape Pillar while Tasmans Eyland would definitely be Tasman Island which both ships passed on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 before sailing up the east coast of Tasmania.
