Detailed explanation-1: -Cornelis de Houtman (2 April 1565 – 1 September 1599) was a Dutch merchant seaman who commanded the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies . Although the voyage was difficult and yielded only a modest profit, Houtman showed that the Portuguese monopoly on the spice trade was vulnerable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Share: JAKARTA-Cornelis de Houtman, a Dutch explorer, was the first to discover the sea route from Europe to the Indies-now Indonesia.
Detailed explanation-3: -He later served as governor of Amboina (1605–11; now Ambon) and the Moluccas (1621–23), both now part of Indonesia; in 1619 he discovered Houtman’s Abrolhos, shoals on the west coast of Australia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Their names were Jan Jansz Carel, Hendrick Hudde, and Reynier Pauw.
Detailed explanation-5: -The voyage was considered a failure because no ways of making money were discovered. The first Dutch expedition to Indonesia-four ships led Cornelius de Houman-entered Indonesian waters in 1596, visiting Banten on the western tip of Java as well as north-coast Javanese ports.
