From Alkmaar to Ayudhya and Back

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  22 April 2010

Extract

In the accounts of the Dutch voyage to the court of the Shogun in Edo, 1661, when Hendrik Indijck was chief-merchant is the item: “a palankin for Gerrit.” When I found this, I could not at first explain it since none of the travelling Dutchmen bore this name. The Deshima diary brought the solution. The review of the new personnel of the Dutch factory mentioned 19 Dutchmen, including “my son and daughter.” No mention of a mother was made, but only women of a specific type were allowed to visit the island.
