Abel Janszoon Tasman was a Dutch seafarer and explorer. He joined the Dutch East India Company in 1634, and soon after this, he was ordered to explore the south-east waters iâ¦n order to find a new sea trade route to Chile in South America.
First to discover New Zealand in 1642, Abel Tasman annexed the country for Holland under the name of 'Staten Landt' (later changed to 'New Zealand' by Dutch mapmakers). Sailing up the country's West Coast, Tasman's first contact with Maori was at the top of the South Island in what is now called Golden Bay.
