Stock Photo - A Dutchman named Abel Tasman and his crew are credited as the first European expedition to reach what is today known as Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Fiji Islands. At one point on the trip, he stopped in new Zealand to gather water for the crew. The Maori attacked, killing four of his men. Tasman then named the area Murderers' Bay (present-day Golden Bay). Why the attack is uncertain but it is said that Tasman landed near an agricultural area and that the natives were trying to protect their rights to the area.
