  Torres had discovered the straight between New Guinea and Australia in 1606. Cook was aware of this as he mentioned Torres in his log at the time he was in the area.

  Very nice shot! Well done!

• Martin Cauchon said:

  Excellent capture

• State Library of New South Wales said:

  Thanks Mike - the Dutch Tasman can't have had access to the discoveries of the Portuguese Torres
