Abel Tasman was employed by the Dutch East India Company, and he was ordered to explore the south-east waters in order to find a new sea trade route to Chile in South America. He was also instructed to search for the hypothetical "Great South land" which was believed to be rich in minerals, and hence may have provided good trade opportunities for the Dutch.
