Spain 2017 Discoverers of Oceana - Luis Vaez de Torres and Pedro Fds de Quito’s Wood Stamp Sheet
Issue date 10 November 2017
Luis Vaez de Torres was a navigator in the service of the Spanish Crown, who embarked on an expedition in 1605 with Fernandez de Quirós to discover a new continent in the South. They found the strait that separates Australia from New Guinea, and which now bears his name (Torres Strait).
His shipmate, Pedro Fernandes de Quirós, a Portuguese navigator in the service of the Spanish Navy, sailed for the southernmost continent, discovering the island known today as Espíritu Santo.
Correos Spain has issued a special sheet on wood paper commemorating these 2 navigators.
