Vis Visschers revier Cape Keerweer Cabo keerweer cap KeerweerNOTE.--Tasman did not make a close examination of the coast visited previously by the Duyfken, the Pera and the Arnhem, but placed on his map, somewhat indiscriminately, the names given to the coast after the voyages of those vessels. The Revier Carpentier was mentioned 'in the Pera's Journal, but was altered to De revier Batavia on the Pera's chart; on Tasman's map, it appears to be a river flowing into Vliege (Albatross) Bay--an obvious misplacement. All illustrations are from the collection in the Mitchell Library, Sydney, with the exception of the drawing of the ship of the Duyfken type, which is from Culver's book in the Public Library of New South Wales. {Page 55}
