I do have a pdf of the original log about the fatal journey of Willem Barentsz and his crew - written down by the ship's carpenter Gerrit de Veer. It is written in old Dutch, but with a good translation tool (like deepl.com) it can be transformed into understandable english.Heinrich,
I see you are planning a build of the Willem Barentsz in the future. I was looking to find any literature/documentation of the journeys. I am currently reading Dutch East India Shipbuilding and wonder if you had any suggestions as to where I might find additional literature. Of course English is my only language so I’m somewhat limited there.
Thanks,
Ron
