⛵ Dirk Hartog
Dutch skipper Dirk Hartog reached Shark Bay in October 1616 while commanding the Eendracht on a Dutch East India Company voyage. At the island now bearing his name, his party left an inscribed pewter plate recording the visit. That unusually durable calling card became an important object in the history of European navigation around Australia. Hartog’s connection is a documented landing on the Gascoyne coast, centuries after Aboriginal people had established their own knowledge of the region. The plate records a European encounter with an already inhabited continent.
