Movements of the Dutch E.I.C. ships in the Dutch East Indies in July-September 1687

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 ships and vessels owned by the E.I.C. The dates mentioned below in the text are the register dates. Daghregister HR no. 2502. See also on this weblog the notes dealing with cargo capacities and individual ships.
