In 1647-1648 the Dutch States General supported the West Indie Company in her struggle with the Portuguese for Brazil. She sent a fleet commanded by Witt Cornelisz de With. This fleet included also a lot of transports. I found one list dealing with the date of arrival. There was one obvious error, the list put 13th for 12th March, so if this meant that 12th had be to read as 14th, I’m not sure.
