Looking for the Ridderschap van Holland, Willem De Vlamingh charted the Perth region with the vessels Geelvinck, Nijptang and Weseltje. He travelled 80 kms inland on the Swan River with ship’s artist Victorszoon, making pictorials of the coast. De Vlamingh replaced Hartog’s pewter plate and then charted Christmas Island on his return trip. An account is given in Early Voyages to Terra Australis by R H Major
