129 - Chasing Geese

Having covered the background of the Dutch Empire and the VOC in the previous episode, today we will be looking at the early life and career of our main character for the next little while, Abel Tasman. We talk about how he came to be part of the Dutch East India Company and take a look at his first major voyage.
