Description:Dutch voyagers from 1599 through the middle 1700s discovered many of the major island groups in the Pacific, including Australia, Easter Island, Fiji, Hawai`i, New Zealand, Samoa and Tonga. Three of those expeditions went east to west around Cape Horn and were led by independent adventurers who challenged the monopoly of the Dutch East India Company, in hopes of finding an alternate route to lucrative spice trading ports. Some also acted as pirates or privateers, attacking Spanish and Portuguese interests in the New World. They were brutal trips in the way the voyagers treated those they met, but also in the way in which they were treated. Many sailors died of scurvy and other illness and many others by violent acts. Most sailors on these expeditions did not survive to see Holland again. Ships were lost at sea, through shipwreck or through confiscation by the Dutch East India Company when they reached their goals. Many voyages made later with the permission of the monopoly explored Pacific islands from the west to the east.
