Cornelis de Houtman (1565–1599) sailed south with four ships in 1595 to find a route to the East Indies. In 1597 he returned and thus proved that, for the Dutch, trading with the Orient was possible. His brother Fredrick de Houtman (1571–1627) outlined twelve new southern constellations. (M 47167) _ _.
