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
2515-2516. 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
