Description This is a map showing the north west coast of Australia, as charted by the Waekende Boey in 1658. This coastline was then known as "The Land of Eendracht", because it had previously been charted only by Dirk Hartog in the Eendracht in 1616.
Date Original map dates to the 17th century; Early Voyages in Terra Australis was published in 1859.
Source Project Gutenberg of Australia edition of Early Voyages in Terra Australis. The image is located at http://www.gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0600361h-06.jpg
Author Primarily Samuel Volkerson, skipper of the Waekende Boey; presumably some professional cartographers were involved in production of the final product.
