In June 1726, several ships departed from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) with various destinations in Asia. The following vessels and their routes were recorded:

• The ship Gaasperdam sailed to Coromandel (eastern India).
• The restored ship De Leeuw also headed to Coromandel.
• The fluyt (a type of cargo ship) Nederhoven and the ship Traadhuijs (from Vlissingen) traveled to Bengal via the west coast of Sumatra.

• The fluyt Amazone left for Bantam (modern-day Banten, Java) on June 20, carrying onderkoopman (junior merchant) Risdam and fiscal (financial official) Martinus Commelijn, who continued from there to Ligor (modern-day Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand) and then to Siam (modern-day Thailand).
• The pachiall (small vessel) De Zuijkermaalden sailed to Jambi (on Sumatra).
• The ship Strijkebolle departed for 't Land van Beloften (likely a nickname or less common location) on June 21.5 (likely late June 21).
• The vessel Schuijtwijk sailed to Goram (likely the Banda Islands) on June 28.
• The ship De Haij left for an unspecified destination on June 28.
• The ship Wolphaartsdijk departed, carrying 2 rijksdaalders (a type of currency, roughly equivalent to silver coins) on June 29.5 (likely late June 29).
• The yacht Westvriesland sailed to an unspecified destination in late June.
• Another unnamed ship traveled to Bengal and Cheribon in early June.
• The ship Tagal sailed to Poelo Chinco (likely Pulau Enggano or another island) on June 1.

• The text describes a process where sailors were examined before being re-employed in the service of a highly respected organization (likely the Dutch East India Company, though not explicitly named).
• The examination took place in front of the Fiscal Advocate of India, Everhard Kraijvanger, and was conducted by the Equipagiemeester (a ship's equipment master) along with several experienced captains.
• The purpose was to check if there was any misconduct or negligence on the sailors' part that could be held against them.
• If nothing was found, the sailors could be rehired with confidence.
• The text also notes that, at the closing of the report from the office in Basra (Bassoura) on a Thursday, there was no news of any incidents involving English privateers (likely private trading or pirate ships).

In 1709, a financial report from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) detailed the amounts of exchange bills (a type of early financial instrument) that were issued. The report was checked by the orphan masters (officials managing orphan funds) of the city.

• The total amount in silver ducatons (an old currency) was 1,357 pieces, valued at 66 stuivers (another old currency unit) each.
• Out of this, 1,226 stuivers were to be repaid to:
  • The orphan masters in Amsterdam: 1,685 rijksdaalders (another currency) and 36 stuivers in 1685.
  • The orphan masters in Delft: 180 rijksdaalders, 6 stuivers, and 131 penningen (smallest currency unit).
• The total value of the silver ducatons was 4,478 guilders and 2 stuivers (as of 1865).
• An additional 18,714 rijksdaalders and 15 stuivers were recorded as transferred capital. This was half of a total amount of 37,428 rijksdaalders and 5/8 from 1709.
• This capital was brought into the Dutch East India Company's (VOC) cash account by the secretary of the honorable Council of Justice of the Castle of Batavia.
• The amount was recorded in the Batavia trade books under sequestration (legal seizure) and later transferred to the general account based on a resolution dated 28th of the same month (likely the month of the report).
• This money was to be repaid in the homeland (the Netherlands) to the noble directors of the Dutch East India Company at the Amsterdam chamber, according to the issued exchange bills.
• The total amount to be repaid was 18,714 rijksdaalders and 1/48, equivalent to 4,491 guilders and 7 stuivers.
• The grand total of all amounts combined was 20,588 rijksdaalders and 1/8, or 49,392 guilders and 9 stuivers.

After the ship Ris van Siam arrived safely, it was reported that another ship, the Risdam, had been lost on its journey from Siam. Out of its crew, 19 people, including the captain Hendrik Schoon, had already arrived in Riouw on a Chinese boat.

• The remaining crew later also arrived in Bassoura using two similar boats.
• No other major events were reported, though it was heard that English private traders had paid 3,412 for the ship's recovery costs in Malacca.
• The only people still unaccounted for were the 19 who had been taken to Malacca by a Portuguese ship.
• On November 11, it was decided to provide financial support to these survivors.
• On November 28, regular living expenses were given to the crew (except the captain and helmsmen), as news of the ship’s loss had been confirmed on November 25.

In the winter of 1726, several ships were recorded traveling between key trading locations in Asia:

• The Portuguese ship São João Baptista arrived in Macau on January 25.
• The yacht Tienhooren left the Strait of Sunda on January 27.
• The Portuguese ship São Vicente Ferreira departed from Manila on the same day.
• The ship Riefhoeck sailed to Macassar on January 28.

In March:

• The shallop Langerak left for Timor on March 2.
• The ship Het Wapen van Hoorn and the frigate Winendaal sailed on March 14.
• The frigates Castor and Sollicx were noted.
• Several ships were listed: Het Land van Belofte, Strykeballe, Magdalena, Witsburg, Hoogermeer, Amazoone, and Risdam.
• The shallop Samarang, the yacht D'Oostendenaer, and the ship De Hoop were also mentioned, with T Huijs te Vlotten heading to Samarang and Nagasaki carrying news that other ships had reached the open sea.

The ship Cats arrived from Bengal in February 1726 with goods worth ƒ18.

The cost of buying out was recorded as 2,810. Meanwhile, after the previously mentioned letter about the departure from this place, the ship's captain of the vessel Prins, named Cornelis de Kaarsboom, had passed away. Due to this event, necessary arrangements were made among the ship's officers.

The same letter noted nothing particularly remarkable about the Dutch East India Company's small office in Ligor during the trading season of 1828, except that the tin trade in Singora was conducted peacefully by the Company's merchants with the local ministry, following the old agreements between the king of Siam and the Company.

Additionally, during the past east monsoon, to reduce the king's debt, the king's agents had delivered 250 bahars (a unit of weight) of tin from Siam to the Company in Ligor, as recorded.

In 1827, a shipment of goods was prepared for delivery. Additionally, a package contained 14 pieces of flawed fabric called beng:s. These flawed items were handled in the same way as other stained fabrics, known as gevlekte hamans.

The payment for the fabrics was reimbursed to the Dutch East India Company (EComp) by the ship's authorities. This included the cost of the 9 pieces of ruined hamans, following the established order for their buyout.

In 1718, a ship called Prins Eugen was sent out during the east monsoon season. The ship arrived safely, and the local authorities confirmed that the cargo had been properly delivered.

• The only issue was a package of hamans woebeng (a type of fabric) from Hogermer.
• When opened, 9 pieces were completely ruined and could not be delivered.
• Another 100 pieces were stained.
• Only 8 pieces were in good condition and sold.

On 2 February 1826, the ships Risdam and Hogermeer arrived safely in port after returning from Siam (modern-day Thailand).

• On that day, officials received a letter (numbered 169) aboard the Hogermeer.
• The letter was written by Gregorius Hendrik Oprageman, the leader of the Dutch trading post in Siam, along with his council.
• It was addressed to the Dutch government in the region and dated 28 November of the previous year (1825).
• The letter included standard documents and attachments as proof of its contents.
• It also reported that three ships—the Risdam, the Hogermeer, and the Rab d Gibed Atgard Bedoorde en Clede—had been present in Siam at the time.

• With the Prins Eugenius: 1,854 guilders, 2 stuivers, and 6⅓ mondjes (small coins).
• With the Hogermeer: 1,483 guilders, 4 stuivers, and 5⅓ mondjes.
• Additional goods: 47,679 guilders and 9 stuivers.

The following events took place regarding the Dutch East India Company (Compagnie, Comp:):

• A merchant named Cock was appointed to replace someone in a position related to Creden (likely a trading post or role).
• Regarding the trading post in Ligor (modern-day Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand), a report called the West Monsoon was referenced, dated 28 November 1725 and 8 January 1726.
• The local Siamese leader in Ayutthaya (referred to as the "Siamese head," Raguna) was involved in discussions.
• The Dutch East India Company decided it was necessary for the Siamese official Gregorius Hendrik Trageman to travel to the main company headquarters (likely Batavia, modern-day Jakarta) while keeping his rank and salary.
• During this opportunity, the under-merchant and Ligor resident Smel Christiaan Cock was promoted to merchant and Siamese head (likely a leadership role in Ayutthaya).
• The under-merchant Aleman was replaced in his role, and Isaac Cleman was appointed and sent as the new Ligor resident.

These changes were made under specific conditions considered important by the company.

In 1726, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) discussed plans for trade with Siam (modern-day Thailand).

• On 1726-03-27, a letter confirmed the need for a ship to sail to Siam.
• On 1726-04-12, the Council of India (VOC leadership in Asia) decided to send the ship Chialoep Ligor to Siam via Jambi (on Sumatra). The ship would carry goods needed by the VOC trading post in Siam.
• On 1726-04-16, the Council also approved sending requested supplies to Siam and picking up collected tin (a valuable trade metal).

In 16, the Dutch prepared several ships for trade missions to Siam (modern-day Thailand) and Ligor (modern-day Nakhon Si Thammarat). The ship Risdam was sent to Ligor and then to Siam. On June 4, the ships Coning Carel and Velserhoofd were dispatched directly to Siam with the following goals:

• Transport cash, goods, and other supplies.
• Collect sappanwood (a valuable red dye wood) and other goods for the Dutch trade demands that year, both for the Netherlands and Dutch India (the Dutch colonies in Asia).

These ships left after official letters were sent on May 19, June 19, and August 11. The letters were recorded in the outgoing Indian Letterbook (a record of Dutch East India Company correspondence). The content of these letters was meant to be responded to later, along with 176 other documents.

The officials in charge were required to inform higher authorities (referred to as "UW Ed. hoog Agtb:" or "Your Highly Esteemed") about the decisions made. On July 26, it was decided to respond to the received letters and additional documents related to Siam. The details of these decisions were documented in the general resolutions of the Castle (likely referring to the Dutch East India Company's administrative headquarters in Batavia, modern-day Jakarta).

On 4 July 1745, a financial record was created in Curaçao regarding payments for monthly wages and allowances (called maantgelden and randsoenen).

• Carel Gustaaff, a clerk, had been in service since 5 July 1741.
• An old account (called Oude Reek) showed a debt of ƒ11,600 (or £4,833) for a four-year period.
• A new account (called Onde Reek) also listed the same debt of ƒ11,600 (or £4,833) for the same period.
• This amount was withdrawn by Carel Gustaaff through a financial order (called an assignatie), charged to the respected directors (called Bewindhebberen) for the benefit of Lourends van Oosten.
• The withdrawal covered 3 months of wages and allowances paid in advance:
  • Monthly wages (ƒ625).
  • Allowances (ƒ100).
• The total advanced amount was ƒ725 (or £302), due on 4 October 1745.

The document was officially recorded at Fort Amsterdam in Curaçao by Elias Luydens, the clerk.

The records from 1746 include several key documents related to Dutch trade, shipping, and legal matters in the Caribbean and Asia:

• A letter from C. G. Schrijver, dated January 10, 1746.
• A letter from G. C. Esdre, dated January 14, 1746, along with a pay record for Jan Gerard Pax, finalized in December 1745.
• Multiple letters from Isaak Faesch, a director, dated January 17, 1746, including one accompanying a cargo manifest for the ship Vrouw Johanna, captained by A. Adriaense.
• A manifest for goods loaded on the ship Mooijweer, captained by Lodewijk Wielicx.
• A sworn statement from the crew of the ship Wakende haan, dated January 4, 1746.
• A copied letter from Adriaen Nobel in Batavia (Jakarta), dated October 6, 1745, addressed to Johan Clemens and other shipowners.
• A letter from Fredrick Zaunslifer, commander on Bonaire, to Isaak Faesch, along with a statement from Lucas Leth and others about the capture of a company vessel.
• Lists of ships and captains, including the Johanna Elisabeth (captained by Arent Westerburgh) and Hoop (captained by Jane Rynderse).
• Multiple letters from the directors and council, dated between January 18 and March 7, 1746.
• A resolution by the council on February 3, 1746, regarding a public announcement about ships captured by the Spanish.
• A warning and authorization related to reclaiming captured ships, dated February 1746.
• A written opinion by Joh. Stuiling arguing that certain captured ships did not need to be reclaimed.
• A request from the director to Captain Versteveren regarding Lieutenant Betting, followed by a written response.
• A public notice about sending someone to Havana to reclaim captured ships, dated March 2, 1746.
• A letter from Isaak Faesch, dated March 12, 1746, including accounts and notes on fortifications.
• A bottomry bond (a type of loan for ships) for 3,600 guilders issued by Jan R. Faesch on behalf of the widow of Jan Rudott.
• A bill of lading for 3 sacks of silver worth 3,000 pesos.
• Legal complaints about crimes involving the ship Philippe, captained by Cornelis Pearij, spanning pages 866 to 919.

This text describes a list of goods prepared as gifts for a trading post called Comptoir Ligoor. The items were sent on the ship Risdam.

• For Eijsch:
  • 3 boxes of rosewater, including 2 dozen small ribbed bottles.
  • 24 pounds of spices of various kinds.
• For Comptoir Ligoor (as gifts):
  • ½ piece of red woolen cloth, 36 units long.
  • 1 piece of green perpetuaan (a type of fabric).
  • 10 fine custmoerissen (likely a type of cloth or garment).
  • 10 painted chitsen (a type of cotton cloth).
  • 10 mallemollen (a type of fabric, possibly Bengal striped cloth).
  • 1 box of Persian-quality rosewater (though it is noted that the rosewater was not actually included).
  • 8 pounds of spices of various kinds.

The text also notes that 24 pounds of "spelerijen" (likely small goods or trinkets) were delivered with King Charles (possibly referring to a person or another shipment). It is again mentioned that the rosewater was not included.

On an unspecified date, a financial record noted the following:

• An unpaid debt of Ralsdan (mentioned before) remained unsettled, totaling 10 ponds (currency). The same issue applied to another unpaid amount of 10 ponds due to reasons previously sent with Risdam. An additional unpaid sum of 200 ponds was also noted.
• For the "confited ginger" (likely preserved ginger) requested for the homeland, the following supplies were sent on the ships Prins Eugenius and Hogermer:
  • 500 picols (a weight unit, roughly 60 kg each) of powdered sugar, and
  • 90 barrels of fresh water.
• Other necessary supplies, including food, equipment, artillery, weapons, and additional provisions, were properly loaded onto the three mentioned ships (number 25). These supplies were sent to both trading offices for the year 1717 (or possibly 1716/1717).

Additional unpaid amounts of 8 and 10 ponds were also recorded.

The document describes the design requirements for two ships to be built in Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) on July 13, 1724. The specifications include:

• A strong spit (braad-spit) at the front (bow) of the ship.
• A windlass (spil) in the center of the deck to lift heavy anchors, barrels, and buoys from the ground with force.
• The design should follow the model of the ship Risdam, which was sent to Rembang as a reference.
• This model would serve as a standard for constructing the two new vessels of the required size.

The document was signed by Matthijs de Haan in the castle of Batavia.

• On 30 September 1689, a general letter strictly prohibited local rulers from appointing officials without approval.
• Three ships—Risdam, Prins Eugenius, and Hoogermeer—were sent to Siam in May and July to collect tin and sapanwood.
• On 3 March, a request for silverwork was still pending, but officials warned that alternative solutions would be needed if such demands continued.
• On 24 July, the Council of India discussed wool trade issues, noting that a response to Berquelang had been delayed because no letter from His Excellency about the requested silverwork had arrived.

On 28 September 1725, officials in Siam were strongly reminded (and previously on 28 April of that year) to buy goods as cheaply as possible to save cash for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). However, instead of following this order, they spent a large amount—408 bales—in cash over the past 12 months and only reduced the king’s debt by 250 bales. They asked not to be blamed for this, claiming a misunderstanding.

The officials argued that their earlier response was misinterpreted as a recommendation to continue buying goods at their own discretion. Yet, in a later letter from 8 September, they admitted to purchasing another 197 bales after the ship Risdam had left. A letter was sent to them (attached) about this issue.

The ship Risdam successfully delivered 3,828 lates (a type of currency), along with trading records and payroll books from Ligor (modern Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand) and other documents.

On 29 September, the ship Hoogermer arrived, captained by Matheus Zwaan, with accountant Abraham Raams. They had left Batavia (modern Jakarta) on 22 August with engineers from the prince of Batavia. They brought respected letters and attachments, totaling ƒ60,587.10.8 (Dutch guilders) in value, as listed in the records.

Additionally, on 15 August, the accountant of the ship Prins Engenius, David Sonnemans, arrived at the local VOC office.

• In 1296, several ships departed from Langerak to various destinations, including:
  • The ship Chialoup to Timor on March 2.

• In March 1726, ships departed from Batavia to:
  • Tagal (likely referring to Manila).
  • Samarang (now Semarang, Indonesia).

This record tracks ships arriving in and departing from Batavia (modern-day Jakarta) and other trading posts in Asia between March 27, 1726 and November 1726:

• The ship Saxenburg departed for the Dutch homeland (Netherlands) on March 27, 1726.
