Map of the western coast of New Holland [i.e. Western Australia] showing Dutch discoveries such as Hartog (1616), Houtman (1619), Van Leeuwin (1620) and De Witt (1628) along the coast of Western Australia. Also included is mapping of the southern part of the East Indies [i.e. Indonesia] in particular Java, Sumatra and some adjacent islands. The map features the survey by English explorer William Dampier in 1699 commanding the HMS Roebuck. He landed at Dirk Hartog Island at the mouth of Shark Bay in July 1699. In search of fresh water he followed the Australian coastline northeast, reaching the Dampier Archipelago and then Roebuck Bay, the map showing the soundings he took of the western Australian coastline.; Finding no water, he was forced up to Timor. Then he sailed east and on 1 January 1700 he sighted and explored New Guinea and its adjacent islands such as New Britain. On their return voyage to England, the Roebuck foundered near Ascension Island (in the Atlantic) on 21 February 1701 marooning the crew there for five weeks before being picked up on 3 April by a passing ship and returned home in August 1701. The map also shows Australia's first European shipwreck off the coast of Western Australia on a coral reef (Tryal Rocks) in 1622 by the Tryall, an East India Company ship skippered by Englishman John Brookes.
