Massive and detailed english language scholarly historic survey of dutch-asiatic shipping through the centuries by command of the Dutch East India Company, V.O.C. Compiled after archivalia and old printed sources as ship's journals and other reports by eye-witnesses of the Dutch Seaborne Empire.

List of sources consulted, indexes: personalia, geographical names, ship's names, footnotes/references tables of contents

A virtually complete survey of the direct shipping between the Netherlands and Asia between 1595-1795. The voyages of the so-called Voorcompagnieen and those 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 became 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 disbanded 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 of Mahu 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 mentioned in the tables. Of those there were in total 4722 outward and 3359 homeward
