This book presents tables which give a virtually complete survey of
the direct ship ping between the Netherlands and Asia between
1595-1795. This period contains, first, the voyages of the
so-called Voorcompagnieen and, then, those for and under control of
the Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC). The survey ends in
1795. That year saw an end of the regular sailings of the VOC
between the Netherlands and Asia, since, following the Batavian
revolution in January, the Netherlands be came involved in war with
England. The last outward voyage left on 26 December 1794. After
news of the changed situation in the Netherlands was received in
Asia, the last homeward voyage took place in the spring of 1795.
The VOC itself was dis banded in 1798. In total 66 voyages of the
voorcompagnieen are listed, one more than the tradition ally
accepted number. The reconnaissance ship, POSTILJON, from the fleet
ofMahu and De Cordes, that was collected en route is given its own
number (0022). Since the attempt of the Australische Compagnie to
circumvent the monopoly of the VOC can be considered as a
continuation of the voorcompagnieen the voyage of Schouten and Le
Maire is also listed (0196-0197). For the rest, exclusively the
outward and homeward voyages of the VOC are men tioned in the
tables. Of those there were in total 4722 outward and 3359
homeward."
