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.
