Willem Jansz was a trader who worked for one of the earlier Dutch trading companies which preceded the Dutch East India Company. During his career, he sailed for the Dutch East Indies several times.
When he departed on his third trip to the East Indies in December 1603, commanding the "Duyfken", his mission was to seek other trade possibilities. This was when he accidentally came across Australia's Cape York Peninsula, and believed it was part of New Guinea.
