Abstract: This narrative outlines Dutch explorations in the Pacific and their encounters with islands. It records navigational details, hardships, and occasional conflicts with indigenous groups. The account suggests that Micronesian islands such as the Marshall Islands and the Caroline Islands were increasingly on Dutch charts by the early 17th century.
