Abel Tasman traveled to Tasmania aboard the ship named the Heemskerk. This Dutch vessel was part of his expedition in 1642 when he became the first European to explore the region. Tasman and his crew mapped parts of the Australian coastline, including Tasmania, which he initially named Van Diemen's Land.
