Salomon Sweers, born 15th June 1611, dead 2nd March 1674, buried in Amsterdam. Educated as a merchant, bailiff of the island Texel (North-Holland) (NL) in service for the counts of Holland, later he became an under merchant in India for The East-Indian Company (VOC) where he became ordinaris counselor. For four or five years he was the manager for one of the Dutch offices, but was eventually dismissed from his position after repeated events of private enterprise in conflict with VOC's interests. He returned to The Netherlands in the mid 1640ies. There exist several documents showing that he took care of his niece, Judith Sweers' fiscal interests. For example, on 22nd July 1648 he signed the contract regulating the financial sides of the coming marriage between Ahasverus de Créqui dit la Roche and Judith, who got married in October that year.

On 29th November 1662, Salomon settled at Keizersgracht in Amsterdam as a merchant and became a "poorter", which means that he had his license to become a merchant. In 1664 he became the manager of the Madhouse in Amsterdam, in 1667 church master at Noorder kerk (North Church).

Salomon Sweers' own island in Australia
To the right: Lyn and Tex Battle live and work at Sweers Island, a popular fishing resort in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Australia. Here they are in front of the pictures of Salomon's parents on their own wall - second best to having a picture of Salomon Sweers, whom their island is named after. Sweers Island is available by boat or airplane, and is situated at the very southern part of the gulf.

A tiny island in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Northern Australia is named after Salomon Sweers. In 1802, the explorer Matthew Flinders found that in 1644, Abel Janzoon Tasman had mistaken a small island to be part of the mainland - and thus not named this place. Robert Logan Jack's book Northmost Australia, Vol 1 p 62-64 (London, 1921) refers to instructions of 13th January 1644, where the Dutch governor to Batavia (Jakarta) sent Tasman on a 2nd journey towards these new and undiscovered lands. Salomon Sweers was among the advisors who signed these instructions. When Flinders named the island that Tasman had overseen, he turned to the old documents for a name - and chose Sweers. A number of books refer to a Cornelius Sweers as the advisor Flinders referred to, but an investigation of available documents shows that this is not the case. Salomon was the man!
