Dutch East Indiaman serving at Banda according to the Generale Missive dated 7 March 1734

 Decided was that ships had to leave Batavia earlier to arrived at Banda before the East monsoon received her full strength in the month June. The chialoup Bierkan was wrecked in Aru. There was some hope that the Onbedachtzaamheid could be salvaged. The chialoup Overwal was sent to replace her. It was considered to continue the patrols around the Zuidooster- en Westereilanden.
