Ships of the Dutch East India Company between 1720-1736 arrived in the Dutch East Indies according to a list dated 1 December 1736 Part I

In an undated list but presumably from 1738 the author gave the names of the E.I.C. ships arriving between 1722 and 1736. Other information which is to be found in this list are the dimensions, the cargo capacity, the year of arrival and their condition while in the East. What he didn't mentioned was to which chamber the ships belonged. I used for this purpose the database on the www.vocsite.nl to find the chamber. There is just one ship I couldn't trace in the database.
