Dutch Where Were They Exploring? Asia Africa Australia Who Were Their Leaders How Did the Explorati Dutch Where were they exploring? ­Asia ­Africa ­Australia Who were their leaders how did the exploration benefit the nation ­Kyana Why did they start exploring ­ The Spanish posed a threat and was competition for goods and merchandise ­ The Dutch east India company was founded for exploration in order to create an all water route through asia and occupying unclaimed lands and goods to knock out competitors ­ Wanted to expand empire and flourish their country with goods and trade (e.g fur trade) Where did they go and what did they do ­ Went to Asia and occupied lands and trade there ­ Traveled to Africa and the majority of the western hemisphere to explore new land ­ Bordered areas around Spain to capture vulnerable spanish fleets and steal their goods When were they exploring? ­The 1600s were a golden era for the Dutch, much as the 1500s had been for the Spanish. The Dutch merchant fleet became the greatest in the world, Amsterdam glittered as a trade center and a Dutch empire was established. This was the age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. Dutch society further distinguished itself by becoming a haven for the oppressed, opening its doors to French Huguenots and Jews from the Iberian Peninsula. How did it affect the areas they discovered? ­The most important Dutch navigator to follow in Hudson's path was Captain Adriaen Block, who explored New York and southern New England in 1613­14. Block's ship, the Tiger, was accidentally destroyed in a fire in New York Harbor, whereupon he and his crew built huts and a new ship, the Restless, which Block later used to explore the coast of Long Island. He sailed past a small island off the coast of Rhode Island and charted the location dubbing it "Adriaen's Eylant". Today, the island is known as Block Island. ­In 1614 the States­General, or Dutch Parliament, consented to a request by several merchants, primarily from Amsterdam, to form the New Netherland Company and to grant the company an exclusive three­year right to trade in the territory that for the first time was called New Netherland. The new enterprise was such an overwhelming success that merchants excluded from the trade protested fiercely. In response to these complaints, the monopoly was not continued when it came up for renewal in 1618. What did they do with these areas? ­ Tasmania: n​amed Van Diemen’s Land in honour of Anthony Van Diemen, the Dutch governor general of Batavia ­ Western Australia: ­ Dirk Hartog affixed a pewter plate (known as the Hartog Plate) to a post and left an inscription of his visit to the island on it ­ Mapped areas of it ­ New Zealand: ­ Abel T​asman discovered New Zealand, but after an encounter with Māori in Golden Bay, he left without going ashore. What was their relationship with the indigenous peoples like? ­ Willem Janszoon: At first, worked with each other. Dutch started mistreating women and tried to make men hunt for them; indigenous peoples attacked (burned boats) and people were killed on both sides (Dutch and indigenous peoples) .

Joseph Conrad in his writings, refers to "The mysteriously born traditions of seacraft, command, and unity in an occu­ pation in which men's lives depend on each other." Still true today, how much more was this so with the mariners of long ago, who sailed in smaU ships for thousands of lonely leagues through unknown seas, for on them alone rested the safety of the ship and all on board. Dr. Johnson wrote "No man will be a saUor who has con­ trivance to get himself into jaU, for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned."

  • Jews in New Amsterdam 1654 Leo Hershkowitz in Late Summer 1654, Two Ships Anchored in New Amsterdam Roadstead
    ARTICLE By Chance or Choice: Jews in New Amsterdam 1654 Leo Hershkowitz In late summer 1654, two ships anchored in New Amsterdam roadstead. One, the Peereboom (Peartree), arrived from Amsterdam on or about August 22. The other, a Dutch vessel named the St. [Sint] Catrina, is often referred to as the French warship St. Catherine or St. Charles. Yet, only the name St. Catrina appears in original records, having entered a few days before September 7 from the West Indies. The Peereboom, Jan Pietersz Ketel, skipper, left Amsterdam July 8 for London, soon after peace negotiations in April concluded the first Anglo-Dutch War (1652–1654). Following a short stay, the Peereboom sailed for New Amsterdam, where passengers and cargo were ferried ashore, as there were no suitable docks or wharves. Among those who disembarked were Jacob Barsimon, probably together with Asser Levy and Solomon Pietersen. These were the first known Jews to set foot in the Dutch settlement, and with them begins the history of that community in New York.1 A number of vessels arrived and departed New Amsterdam during 1654 and early 1655, including the Gelderse Bloem (Flower of Gelderland), Swarte Arent (Black Eagle), Schaal (Shell), Beer (Bear), Groot Christofel (Great Christopher), Koning Solomon (King Solomon), Jonge Raafe (Young Raven), and d’Zwaluw (Swallow). Perhaps Pietersen and Levy were on one of these, but given the extensive use of the Peereboom, it seems likely they would have been on that ship. Regardless of which vessel they were on, they came by choice. These were not refugees fleeing imminent persecution.

  • Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: the First Dutch Voyage up the Delaware River”
    “Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: The First Dutch Voyage up the Delaware River” Jaap Jacobs, MCEAS Quinn Foundation Senior Fellow Presented to the McNeil Center for Early American Studies Seminar Series Stephanie Grauman Wolf Room, McNeil Center, 3355 Woodland Walk 20 April 2007, 3PM (Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without written permission from the author) 2 Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: The First Voyage up the Delaware River The French historian Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie is one of the many who divided the devotees of Clio into two opposing groups, for which he employed a tasteful, if slightly airy, metaphor: the truffle hunters and the parachutists. The first keep their nose to the ground, in search for a minute fact buried in the mud. The second float with their head in the clouds, taking in the whole panorama, without seeing too much detail.1 Far be it from me to criticize eminent Frenchmen, but continuing Le Roy Ladurie’s metaphor, I would like to point out that parachutists reach firm ground in the end, although it may be an uncomfortable experience if their parachute fails. And truffle hunters may board aircraft, take off, jump out, and enjoy the view. In short, many historians have both a taste for exquisite morsels and for grand views. On this occasion, I would like to serve you a truffle dish in the form of a recently discovered document, a deposition made to Amsterdam notary Jacobus Westfrisius. The document refers to events that took place in the second decade of the seventeenth century.

  • The Connecticut River
    The Connecticut River Connecticut is named for a river. The river runs right through its middle. The Native Americans called it Quinnetukut, or “the long tidal river.” It is easy to see on a map where the Connecticut River ends. It empties into Long Island Sound. But where does it begin? It begins far north, near the border of the United States and Canada. The Connecticut River flows south between Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. It is 410 miles long. The place where it ends is called the mouth of the river. © Connecticut Explored Inc. First Europeans Arrive Native Americans lived along the river for thousands of years. 400 years ago, Dutch trader Adriaen Block was exploring by ship. His ship was called the Onrust. He wanted to trade with the Native Americans. Block found the mouth of the Connecticut River in 1614. He and his crew sailed the Onrust up the river. They met the Podunk Indians near where Hartford is today. They were the first Europeans to meet the Podunks. They built a trading post on the riverbank. English settlers arrived in the 1630s. They came over land from Massachusetts. They weren’t only interested in trading. The English were searching for farmland. They also wanted to practice their Christian religion the way they wanted to. The first English settlements were “the river towns” of Windsor, Hartford, and Wethersfield. At the mouth of the river, Englishmen built a fort at Old Saybrook. Hartford grew to become a city and the state capital, but the other river towns stayed small.

  • 1. Sir Dudley Carleton, Ambassador at the Hague, to the Privy Council. Has Received Their Letters of 15Th Dec
    1. Sir Dudley Carleton, Ambassador at the Hague, to the Privy Council. Has received their letters of 15th Dec. last, touching the Hollanders entering a year since, and planting a colony upon some parts of the north of Virginia. Has moved the States General to stay any ships bound thither, and to prohibit the further prosecution of that plantation. Finds that about four or five years ago two companies of Amsterdam merchants began to trade with the savages for furs in those parts which they named New Netherlands, and have continued to do so ever since. Does not believe there is so much as a colony intended, because a considerable number of families have been suitors to him to procure a place of habitation amongst the King ’s subjects there. (Sec. Calvert writes on 7 Feb. that he does not remember Carleton had any directions about such a plantation. Three score families of Walloons had applied for a portion of land, which was referred to the Virginia Company. (See p. 26 , No. 55.) Should Carleton have further orders, would be glad to understand it. See HOLLAND Corresp., 7 Feb. 1622 ) Incloses, I. 1. Representation of Sir Dudley Carleton to the States General of the United Provinces. Protests in the King ’s name against the occupation by the Dutch of certain parts of Virginia, against their changing the names of ports and havens; and dispatching six or eight vessels thence, now ready to sail, to keep up their colony. Sets forth the title of King James to all that territory. 1622, Jan 30.
