Dit is waar u de bronnen van de geschiedenis van de Deense kolonie in de West-Indiën vindt. De kolonie bestond uit de eilanden van St. Thomas, St John en St. Croix en behoorde tot Denemarken tussen 1672 en 1917. Ze werden toen verkocht aan de V.S. en hernoemd tot de Virgin Islands. Veelal in het Deens, maar sommige bronnen zijn ook in het Engels of Nederlands.

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.
