Years: 1792 - 1792
Several European explorers had navigated along the coast of Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) between the 1770s and 1790s, but a strong English interest in the Derwent River only begins with the return of English Royal Navy Captain William Bligh in 1792 aboard HMS Providence.
He stops briefly in Adventure Bay to take on fresh water before continuing his voyage.
