Able Tasman was born in the year 1603
Abel Tasman's voyage began in the Dutch Republic, specifically from the port of Amsterdam, in 1642. He was commissioned by the Dutch East India Company to explore the southern seas and seek new trade routes. His journey ultimately led him to the coasts of present-day New Zealand and Tasmania, marking significant discoveries in the region.
Abel Tasman brought back knowledge of new lands, including the discovery of Tasmania and New Zealand. He also documented the native Maori people and their culture during his voyage. Tasman's exploration contributed to European understanding and mapping of the South Pacific region.

The Dutch East Indies Company.
Abel Tasman's voyage was funded by the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The company aimed to explore new territories for trade opportunities, particularly in search of a southern continent and new resources. Tasman's expeditions in the 1640s were part of the VOC's broader efforts to expand Dutch influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
