The National Archive of Indonesia published on her
website tables of contents of the so-called Daghregisters (Daily accounts) of the
Castle Batavia; HR no.'s 2508-2509. 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
ships and vessels owned by the E.I.C. The dates mentioned below in the text are
the register dates. See also on this weblog the notes dealing with cargo
