136 EARLY HISTORY OF BRUNY ISLAND. 



took to be Storm Bay, as The Friars. He even- 

 tually came to anchor in Adventure Bay, think- 

 ing he was in the Frederick Henry Bay of Tasman 

 and that the Peninsula was Maria Island. He 

 states, however, that they found that the true 

 Frederick Henry Bay was some miles to' the north. 

 He did not recognise that it was also further to 

 the east, and it was this mistake that led to the 

 confused nomenclature in use at the present day. 

 From his anchorage Furneaux records various 

 bearings, and mentions the north point of the 

 Bay as the one they consider is "Tasman 's 

 "Head." I have been unable to find any re^ 

 ference to Tasman's Head on any of Tasman's 

 charts or in his writings. One can only conclude 

 that Furneaux referred to Tasman's Island, as 

 this is shown on the Dutch charts, and is, of 

 course, some miles to the south of Frederick 

 Henry Bay l 56 ) (of Tasman.) Now on the pub- 

 lished charts of Cook's voyages, the name Cape 

 Frederick Henry appears as the designation for 

 the northern point of Adventure Bay, and Tas- 

 man's Head for the bold south-east extremity of 

 Bruny Island. Apparently both designations 

 were originally due to Furaeaux's error as re- 

 gards his position, and the slight correction made 

 between the written account and the charts did 

 not tend to improve matters. 



Taylor's Bay. See Great Taylor's Bay. 



Trumpeter Bay. Ross" Almanack for 1830 in describing 

 the inlets of Bruny states "One is called Trum- 

 "peter Bay" from the quantities of that fish 

 caught there. 



Ventenat Point. Named after Louis Ventenat, chaplain 

 and naturalist of the Recherche. 



Zuidpool Rock (D'Entrecasteaux Channel). Named be- 

 cause the ship Zuidpool, 536 tons, from Amster- 

 dam, struck this rock, which was not then charted, 

 in December, 1845. The vessel remained on the 

 rock for six hours, but floated off with the 

 rising tide and was not damaged. ( 57 ) The rock 

 is often referred to as "The Dutchman."

 Board, for this information.
