Admiral Steven van der Haghen's voyage to the East Indies

About this book

Neundte Schiffart (or, The Ninth Sea Voyage) was the ninth in a series of pamphlets about overseas voyages and exploration published by Levinius Hulsius (Hulse), who skillfully selected, edited and translated eyewitness accounts. This particular voyage was especially important because it represented a turning point for the Dutch in gaining control of the East Indies spice trade.
