Database Exports from St. Eustatius to the Dutch Republic, 1783-1795 (DANS)

Exports from St. Eustatius to the Dutch Republic, 1783-1795.

Jordaan, Dr. H.R. ()
During the second half of the 18th century St. Eustatius became an important regional trading hub, where European and North American goods and African slaves were exchanged for tropical produce from the neighbouring British, French, Spanish and Danish colonies. Between 1783 and 1795 180 return shipments of tropical produce were sent to the Dutch Republic. For most of these shipments the cargo lists were preserved in the old archives of St. Eustatius (1781-1828), which are kept in the National Archive in The Hague. The information from these cargo lists or ship’s manifests is processed in the database.

Database Dutch interlopers, 1674-1730 (DANS)

Dutch interlopers, 1674-1730 – R. Paesie (2008)
This database contains 85 to 90 percent of the Dutch interlopers between 1674 and 1730. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the word ‘interloper’ (lorrendraaier) generally referred to a smuggler ship, a ship trading goods and slaves out of the monopoly of the West Indian Company. ‘Since interloper activity was illegal, documentation concerning its role is difficult to find, if available at all’ (Postma). About one fifth of the interlopers didn’t fulfil its journey. They were captured by the West Indian Company, were shipwrecked of hijacked by pirates. More on interlopers can be read in the summary of the book ‘Lorrendrayen op Africa’ by Paesie that is added in PDF-format in this database.

Database Maritime Stepping Stories (Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed)

In binnen- en buitenlandse wateren liggen zo’n 1500 scheepwrakken die Nederlands eigendom zijn. Het Programma Maritiem Erfgoed Internationaal van de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed zorgt, samen met haar partners, voor de bescherming en het onderzoeken van dit maritieme erfgoed zodat het bewaard blijft voor huidige en toekomstige generaties. De gegevens over de Nederlandse scheepswrakken worden verzameld in een database. Deze database is te vinden op de website Maritime Stepping Stones (MaSS). Op deze website is ook ook ander (Nederlands) maritiem erfgoed te vinden, zoals havens, kades, bruggen, gezonken steden, dorpen en prehistorische vindplaatsen.
