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
capacities and individual ships.
