Dutch-Asiatic shipping, 1602-1795

<p>This dataset contains outward-bound and homeward-bound voyages of Dutch ships between the Netherlands East Indies and the Republic of the United Netherlands from 1602 until 1795. Apart from dates of departure and arrival, the dataset also includes the dates on which the Cape of Good Hope was passed. The information in the dataset is not identical to the data presented in the source publication Dutch-Asiatic Shipping (J.R. Bruijn, F.S. Gaastra, I. Schöffer: Dutch-Asiatic Shipping in the 17th and 18th Centuries / R.G.P. no. 165; Den Haag 1987). The purpose of the dataset was to gain insight in the Dutch Republic's history of expansion by investigating ships' logs to the Netherlands East Indies.</p>本数据集收录了1602年至1795年间，往返于荷属东印度（Netherlands East Indies）与荷兰共和国（Republic of the United Netherlands）的荷兰船舶出航与返航航次。除包含船舶启航与抵达日期外，本数据集还记录了各航次途经好望角（Cape of Good Hope）的日期。本数据集所载信息与源出版物《荷兰亚洲航运》（Dutch-Asiatic Shipping in the 17th and 18th Centuries）中呈现的数据并不完全一致，该出版物由J.R. 布鲁因、F.S. 加斯特拉、I. 舍弗编著，编号为R.G.P. 第165号，1987年于海牙出版。本数据集的构建初衷，是通过研究前往荷属东印度的船舶航海日志，深入探析荷兰共和国的扩张历史。
