Portuguese shipping in Dutch East Indies in 1685-1686

The National Archive of Indonesia published on her website tables of contents of the so-called Daghregisters (Daily accounts) of the Castle Batavia. Unfortunately they are in Dutch. In those tables you can find for instance information about the ships arriving at and departing from Batavia (nowadays Djakarta). I extracted the movements of the Portuguese ships and vessels owned by the E.I.C. The Portuguese names are phonetically written. The dates mentioned below in the text are the register dates.

Anapourna, yacht, arrived at Batavia coming from Manila 4 March 1685
Nossa Senhora de Monseratte, small ship, arrived at Batavia coming from Macao 31 December 1685, as Monserrate departed Batavia towards Macao 22 May 1686, news of the wrecking of the Monseratte in Sunda Strait 26 May 1686
