Dirk Hartog
On October 25,1616 Dirk Hartgog nailed down a pewter plate on Dirk Hartgog Island. He did so to acknowledge his landing on the island.
In 1616, Dirk Hartog left a pewter plate at Shark Bay, Western Australia (then New Holland) inscribed with details of his voyage.In 1697, Dutch sailor Willem de Vlamingh reached New Holland and removed Hartog's pewter plate, replacing it with another plate. He took the original back to Holland. It is now kept in the Rijksmuseum. Hartog's original inscription was copied onto a new plate, and Vlamingh added new information about his own voyage.
Dirk Hartog's sailing vessel was called the Eendracht, which is Dutch for "Unity." He arrived on the western coast of Australia in 1616, becoming one of the first known Europeans to set foot on the continent. Hartog's landing is historically significant, and he left behind a pewter plate inscribed with details of his voyage, marking the event.
He left a pewter dish, now called the Hartog Plate, that he nailed to a tree. It was the oldest known European artifact in Australia (1616), and was returned to the Netherlands by a later expedition. The first landing by Dutch explorers had been by Willem Janszoon in 1606.
