(Account of the voyage to the Strait of Magellan by 5 Dutch ships from Rotterdam on 27 june 1598 under captain Sebald de Weert and others...), which originates from the monumental work by Isaac Commelin (1598-1676) on VOC voyages: 'Begin ende voortgangh van de Vereenighde Nederlantsche Geoctroyeerde Oost-Indische Companie....', published by Joannes Janssonius, Amsterdam, 1646. Artists and Engravers: Sebald or Sebalt de Weert (1567-1603) was a Dutch captain and vice-admiral of the Dutch East India Company (known in Dutch as Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC). He is most widely remembered for accurately plotting the Falkland Islands in 1600. In and around the year 1598, several exploratory expeditions left Rotterdam for eastern discovery traveling in many different routes. On June 27, 1598, a voyage of five ships with 494 men under the command of Jacques Mahu and financed by Pieter van den Hagen and Johan van der Veken, two wealthy Dutch retailers, and equipped by Magelhaanse Compagnie, left Goeree (Holland), bound for the Moluccas, in the Dutch East Indies. They headed Southwest toward the Straits of Magellan in South America, intending to navigate the straits then turn Northwestern toward Asia. The ships with their (initial) captains were: Hoop (Hope), captain Jacques Mahu, leader of the expedition, Liefde (Love), captain SimÃ³n de Cordes, second-in-command, Geloof (Believe), captain Gerrit van Beuningen, Trouwe (Faith), captain Jurriaan van Boekhout, and finally Blijde Boodschap (Good Tiding or The Gospel), captain Sebald de Weert. The Blijde Boodschap was better known as Vliegend Hart (Flying heart) prior to this particular voyage. The ships encountered much misfurtune and only de Weert made it back to Rotterdam.
