    * omslag Dutch Ships in Tropical:DEF 18-08-09 13:30 Pagina 1 dutch ships in tropical waters robert parthesius The end of the 16th century saw Dutch expansion in Asia, as the Dutch East India Company (the VOC) was fast becoming an Asian power, both political and economic. By 1669, the VOC was the richest private company the world had ever seen. This landmark study looks at perhaps the most important tool in the Company’ trading – its ships. In order to reconstruct the complete shipping activities of the VOC, the author created a unique database of the ships’ movements, including frigates and other, hitherto ignored, smaller vessels. Parthesius’s research into the routes and the types of ships in the service of the VOC proves that it was precisely the wide range of types and sizes of vessels that gave the Company the ability to sail – and continue its profitable trade – the year round. Furthermore, it appears that the VOC commanded at least twice the number of ships than earlier historians have ascertained. Combining the best of maritime and social history, this book will change our understanding of the commercial dynamics of the most successful economic organization of the period. robert parthesius Robert Parthesius is a naval historian and director of the Centre for International Heritage Activities in Leiden. dutch ships in amsterdam tropical waters studies in the dutch golden age The Development of 978 90 5356 517 9 the Dutch East India Company (voc) Amsterdam University Press Shipping Network in Asia www.aup.nl dissertation 1595-1660 Amsterdam University Press Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters Dutch Ships in Tropical Waters The development of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) shipping network in Asia - Robert Parthesius Founded in as part of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Golden Age (Amsterdams Centrum voor de Studie van de Gouden Eeuw) aims to promote the history and culture of the Dutch Republic during the ‘long’ seventeenth century (c.

  • Lords of the Land, Lords of the Sea Voorstellen DEF.Indd 1 11-01-12 14:01 LORDS of the LAND, LORDS of the SEA
    Lords of the land, lords sea Lords of the land, lords of the sea 1600-1800 and adaptation in early colonial Timor, Conflict Conflict and adaptation in early colonial Timor, 1600-1800 European traders and soldiers established a foothold on Timor in the course of the seventeenth century, motivated by the quest for the commercially vital sandalwood and the intense competition between the Dutch and the Portuguese. Lords of the land, lords of the sea focuses on two centuries of contacts between the indigenous polities on Timor and the early colonials, and covers the period 1600-1800. In contrast with most previous studies, the book treats Timor as a historical region in its own right, using a wide array of Dutch, Portuguese and other original sources, which are compared with the comprehensive corpus of oral tradition recorded on the island. From this rich material, a lively picture emerges of life and death in early Timorese society, the forms of trade, slavery, warfare, alliances, social life. The investigation demonstrates that the European groups, although having a role as ordering political forces, were only part of the political landscape of Timor. They relied on alliances where the distinction between ally and vassal was moot, and led to frequent conflicts and uprisings. During a slow and complicated process, the often turbulent political conditions involving Europeans, Eurasians, and Hans Hägerdal Timorese polities, paved the way for the later division of Timor into two spheres of roughly equal size. Hans Hägerdal (1960) is a Senior Lecturer in History at the Linnaeus University, Sweden. He has written extensively on East and Southeast Asian history.

    Juli a n a TENTOONSTELLING H. K. H. PRINSES JULIANA BATAVIASCHE KUNSTKRING BESCHERMHEER : ZIJNE EXCELLENTIE DE GOUVERNEUR-GENERAAL VAN NED.-INDIË Juliana-Tentoonstelling bij gelegenheid van het huwelijk van Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Juliana met Zijne Doorluchtige Hoogheid Prins Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld op 7 Januari 1937. Deze tentoonstelling omvat portretten en figuren, ook in landschap en stadsbeeld, weergegeven in olieverf, als teekening en prent door kunstenaars uit Holland en Indië en uit het buitenland. Zij werd voornamelijk samengesteld uit particulier bezit te Batavia en elders, voorts uit de Landsverzameling Schilderijen en uit het Schilderijen bezit van den Volksraad. Het vroegst gedateerde stuk, een prent van Dürer, gaat terug tot vóór 1495 — op eenige der jongste stukken had de verf ternauwernood tijd te drogen. Hare Majesteit de Koningin heeft de goedheid gehad voor deze tentoonstelling een portret van de Prinses, geschilderd door de Amsterdamsche schilderes Lizzie Ansingh, af te staan. Het Bestuur van den Bataviaschen Kunstkring betuigt hiervoor Hare Majesteit zijn eerbiedigen dank. Groote erkentelijkheid is het Bestuur verschuldigd aan de Regeering van Nederlandsch- Indië, die door het inzenden van eenige belangrijke en schoone portretten uit de Landsver- zameling Schilderijen het mogelijk heeft gemaakt, dat de groep „Indisch werk" met het portret van Jan Pieterszoon Coen teruggebracht kon worden tot de eerste decenniën der 17e eeuw. Het Bestuur rest voorts de aangename taak den Volksraad te danken voor zijn hooggewaardeerde inzending en niet minder de velen, die met groote welwillendheid uit hun particulier bezit voor deze expositie schoone en merkwaardige stukken afstonden. De tentoonstelling wordt gehouden van 28 December 1936 6.30 uur n.m.

  • Chronology (Word)
    SWEERS ISLAND CHRONOLOGY 1 Pre 1600s: The use of Sweers Island by the Kaiadilt (Bentinck Islanders) is well documented.1 As Tindale suggested, historical evidence indicates some occupation of Bentinck, Allens and Sweers Island with primary use focused on Bentinck Island. The nomadic trips to Allens and Sweers Islands were largely dependent on whim, freshwater supply and specific hunting and gathering expeditions; all largely controlled by weather. The Kaiadilt people were basically gatherers of sea food, and the wave platform areas and associated shorelands were probably utilised on Sweers Island. Women gathered 'tjilangind' (small rock oysters), 'kulpanda' (Arca mud cockles) and crabs during low tide periods, while the men explored the wider littoral areas spearing fish, turtle, sharks and dugong. On the other hand, the Aboriginal fish-traps on Sweers Island2 suggest a more sedentary use of the Island in the recent past. The Aboriginal terms describing these places indicate that Bentinck Island was the "land of all" (Dulkawalnged) while Allens, Horseshoe and Sweers Islands were "men absent lands" (Dangkawaridulk). These primary indicators, plus observations during visits by Flinders and Stokes and other visitors to the area including anthropologists Roth, Beazley and, more recently, Tindale, indicate that prehistoric use was sporadic and ecologically insignificant. 1580-1650: This was the earliest period of exploration in northern Australia and Indonesian waters by Dutch explorers associated with the Dutch East India Company. 1606: The first written record of exploration in the Gulf of Carpentaria by Willem Jansz date from this time. In March and April, he sailed down the west coast of Cape York, landing at Albatross Bay and then continued as far as 14°S (Cape Keer-Weer) in the DUYFKEN.

    ONS INSULINDE ONS INSULINDE HOE WE 'T VERKREGEN EN WAT HET DOOR ONS WERD DOOR B. ALKEMA LEERAAR AAN DE MIDDELB. KOL. LANDB. SCHOOL TE DEVENTER DERDE, GEHEEL BIJGEWERKTE EN VEEL VERMEERDERDE DRUK H I HAARLEM - H. D. TJEENK WILLINK & ZOON - 1925 UIT DE VOORREDE BIJ DEN EERSTEN DRUK. Dit werkje dankt zijn ontstaan in de eerste plaats aan het feit, dat ik les heb te geven in de geschiedenis van de Nederlandsche be- zittingen in Zuid-Azie, en dat een geschikt leerboekje daarvoor ont- brak. In de tweede plaats aan de gedachte, dat bij de zoo verhoogde belangstelling die „Ons Insulinde" in de laatste jaren deelachtig mag wezen, er wellicht zullen zijn, die nader met de geschiedenis van Indict kennis willen maken en 't werkje alzoo buiten den kring mijner leerlingen lezers zal kunnen vinden. Bij de samenstelling van 't werkje heb ik me drieeerlei eisch ge- steld : 1 e, de vermelding in chronologische volgorde der feiten, al is het in zeer beknopten vorm; 2e, die feiten kortelijk te beoordeelen en 3e, iets te zeggen over de economische ontwikkeling van Ned.- Indie. Bij de beoordeeling der feiten heb ik mij de vraag gesteld: Welke resultaten hadden zij voor de Inlandsche bevolking ? Deze vraag toch dunkt mij is de eerste, die telkens moet gesteld worden. Zij vloeit voort uit het begrip, dat men in onzen tijd geeft, ik zeg niet altijd inderdaad hecht, aan een, uit een oogpunt van ethische begin- selen te voeren koloniale politiek Ik heb verder over den inhoud en de vorm niets meer mede te deelen, dan dat ik, om de gedurige vermelding van bronnen aan den voet der bladzijde te voorkomen, een literatuur-opgave hier- achter voeg.
