Willem Hesselsz de Vlamingh (28 November 1640 – after 7 August 1702[1]) was a Dutch sea captain who explored the central west coast of New Holland (Australia) in the late 17th century, where he landed in what is now Perth on the Swan River. The mission proved fruitless, but he charted parts of the continent's western coast.[2]
