What famous explorer had the surname 'de Torres'?

It was Luis de Torres (full name Luis Váez de Torres) from Portugal, Spain, Galicia or Holland who discovered the western coast of Australia. Saavedra's Isle, more commonly known as Papua New Guinea (the small country on top of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, Australia) was also discovered by this explorer who lived in the late 1600s. The body of water between northern Australia (Cape York Peninsula, as mentioned before) and Saavedra's Isle was founded by Torres, which is why this water mass is called the Torres Strait and the inhabitants of the island near the strait called Torres Strait Islanders, being the people of the Torres Strait Island. His expedition was worth it - because now (but he probably doesn't know this) 3 things are named after him - a strait, an island and the inhabitants of that island.Also see Luis Vaz/Váez de Torres on Wikipedia the free encyclopedia.
