Dirk Hartog was a Dutch explorer born around 1580 in the city of Amsterdam. Little is known about his early life, but he likely received a seafaring education typical for men of his background during that era. He became a skilled navigator and sailor, which led him to embark on voyages to the East Indies. His most notable expedition was in 1616 when he became the first European to land on Australia's western coast.
