The Dutch departments of Home Affairs and Navy published a list of the Dutch war- and merchant ships including the so-called Gouvernementsmarine which was active in the Dutch East Indies. The list I used was published by H. Nijgh at Rotterdam and was kept update until 1 October 1867.

GQWB=Ternate, schooner brig
GQWF=Thor, defence vessel
GQWH=Timor, paddle steamship 3rd class
GQWR=Urania, sail corvette 2nd class
