This week in …… 1643*

The bay of Tongatapu with the two ships of Abel Tasman’s journey

Abel Tasman landed on Tonga on 21 January 1643. Although Tonga was visited by various European colonial powers, it never lost its self-determination and always kept its own government.

Above an illustration from his journey. Oddly enough its reference by the Dutch Royal Library in Europeana claims full copyright, which is incorrect. The image is in the public domain.
