Ik quote (opnieuw):
"Henry Hudson discovered the island in 1607 and called it Hudson's Tutches or Touches. Thereafter it was several times observed by navigators who successively claimed its discovery and renamed it. (..) The present name of the island is derived from this, the claim of its discovery by a Dutch navigator, Jan Mayen, in 1611, being unsupportable."
En een andere bron:
"Upon reaching home, Hudson names a previously unnoticed island “Hudson’s Touches.” It lies at 71 degrees North. When this land was sighted, Hudson was approximately 400 miles off course. Dutch explorers renamed the island Jan Mayen Island seven years later, thinking they had discovered it. Both explorers however never actually landed on the island. Still, it remains Jan Mayen Island to this day."
Een duidelijke verdraaing van de feiten dus.
