Antique print titled 'Gezigt op het eiland Rotterdam'. View of Rotterdam Island, Pacific. Originates from 'Reizen Rondom de Waereld door James Cook (..)'. Rotterdam or nowadays Nomuka is a small island in the southern part of the Ha?apai group of islands in the Kingdom of Tonga. It is part of the Nomuka Group of islands, also called the ?Otu Mu?omu?a. Nomuka, is 7 square kilometres in area and contains a large, brackish lake (Ano Lahi) in the middle, and also three other smaller lakes—Ano Ha'amea, Ano Fungalei, and Molou. There are approximately 400-500 inhabitants who subsist on fishing, farming, and remittances from family members abroad. The island has a secondary school, two primary schools, and a kindergarten. It also has seven churches. The island is accessible by boat only. Boats leave weekly from Nuku?alofa and Lifuka, Ha?apai. There is one guesthouse on the island, and three or four small fale koloa, or convenience stores. It is also home to the Royal Nomuka Yacht Club Notable historic visitors include Abel Tasman, Captain Cook, Captain Bligh, and William Mariner. The Dutch Abel Tasman made the first European discovery of the island on 24 January 1643. A party went ashore to get water, and the description of the huge lake they brought back afterwards leaves little doubt about the identification. Tasman called it Rotterdam island, after the city of Rotterdam, a major port in the Netherlands, and noted in his maps the indigenous name of Amamocka, a misspelling of ?a Nomuka, ?a being a subject-indicating article. We also find the name of Amorkakij for Nomuka iki.[1] Captain Bligh in the Bounty spent 3 days wooding and watering at Nomuka in April 1789. The Mutiny on the Bounty occurred the day after they left. Nomuka is known for raising up the greatest number of church leaders for the major Christian denominations in Tonga such as Rev. Sione Lepa To'a the former president of the Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, Rev. Seluipepeli Mafi and his son Rev Dr Feke Mafi as both former presidents of the Church of Tonga, and Pastor Tetileti Pahulu, a former president of the Seventh Day Adventist...
