Ships, yachts, fluyts and smaller vessels belonging to the Dutch East India Company available in the Dutch East Indies December 1664

De Jonge published in his book several lists of ships, fluyts and other vessels the Dutch East India Company available in the Dutch East Indies. Of the ships which departed Batavia in December 1663 and 27 January 1664 some were to service with the Dutch fleet. See also my article dealing with the Dutch fleet at Lowestoft in 1665, published on this weblog. Some of the ships homeward bound were later captured by the British, for instance the Oyevaar.
