It is so named because that part of the coast was first and foremost charted by Dirk Hartog in the Eendracht in 1616. This is a scan of the copy belonging to the State Library of New South Wales. It has been colour balanced. The original map was published in Hessel Gerritsz, also written 'Hessel Gerritszoon'. 93 Caert van't Landt van d'Eendracht (NSW balanced)
