In 1801 a member of Baudin's expedition, reporting on the west coast of Australia, described the Vlamingh plate.

From "Curious Minds" (2012), page 16:
"Dampier collected specimens several years after Willem de Vlamingh landed on Rottnest Island near Fremantle and then explored the Swan River. De Vlamingh, a skipper with the Dutch East India Co., was sent with three Dutch ships - the frigate "Geelvinck", the hooker "Nijptangh" and the galiot "Weseltje" - on a rescue mission. The visitors were searching for a ship named the "Ridderschap van Holland" that had gone missing in 1695. They had set out from Holland, visiting the Cape of Good Hope (then a Dutch outpost) and Tristan da Cunha and other islands, before steering for the then practically unknown Terra Australis. They thought the wreck and any survivors might be found at the Abrolhos Islands, so that was where they were headed when they found some islands just off the mouth of what they would soon call the Swan River."
