 The First European Explorers

Until the seventeenth century people in Europe did not know much about the southern half of the world and they didn’t know what new zealand was. They believed that in the south pacific a great continent lay there. Dutch captains had drawn the australian map of the cost but they didn’t know what was in the east. Abel Tasman was a dutchman who was sent to find a mysterious continent that could be useful for a trade.

Abel tasman was the first to discover new zealand in 1642 he became the first known european to discover new zealand. Some of his men tried to land in the south island they were attacked and killed by local maori’s. After he quiky left he named the place murderers bay today it’s called golden bay.

He drawed the map of the west coast as he sailed north then returned to europe. He didn’t know if he had drawn a map of a coast or a continent. New zealand used to be called novo zeelandia it was named after a place that is in holland it is called zeeland.

Tasman wrote a report about war-like maori discourage other explorers for a long time. Europeans have reached new zealand again after a hundred and twenty seven years.

Captain james cook was a english sailor who arrived in new zealand in 1769. When he met a maori it ended up with misunderstanding and a big fight. Most tribes were friendly they traded fresh food for european goods. Captain james cook drew the first complete map of new zealand while sailing around the coast line.

He voyaged twice to new zealand in 1773-4 and 1776.
