Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).
Robere210 Posted April 12, 2023 #7 Posted April 12, 2023 Wow. So beautiful On a different note--from the article: ".....Four years later, divers retrieved the chests and brought them to the surface. Inside were remarkable objects, the likes of which had never been seen before,..." Ummm... well, the articles were certainly seen when they were made, worn, and packed into the chests. 🙂 mtaylor and thibaultron 2
