English: De Bry, Johann Theodor, (1560-1623) and Johann Israel de Bry (1565-1609). Part V, Plate 16, Ships of Those from Banda and Ternate. From the "Little Voyages" SHIPS IN THE EAST INDIES Van Warwijck put in at Ambon and Ternate in 1599, while his colleague Jacob van Heemskerck sailed to Banda. This print shows vessels that originate from these parts. On the left is the cora cora of the king, near the letter A. This Bandanese ship is propelled by large numbers of rowing men, others on board bang on drums and cymbals. The travel account describes them as a frenzied mob. The ship at the top right is a warship from Madura, the island east of Java. The spears of the crew can be clearly identified. At the right bottom we see the cora cora of the king of Ternate. Ships of those from Banda and Ternate Those galleys from the island Banda called by the inhabitants Carocolla and marked with A are necessary for the war against their enemies because they know how to row very fast with those while they are built with thin siding and are very light they are not dabbed with pitch like ours but the joints stuffed with hemp from the Indian nuts and then greased with chalk and another material combined so that water cannot cause any damage. B. is the king of Ternate's, Karkol, with an extension built onto both sides lying almost flat on the water on which the slaves and servants are sitting and rowing at all times. Above on this Karkol are sitting several which are playing on drums and other instruments. There are also 7 great cannons on top surrounded by several long spears on the back of this Karkol is a nice bed/ beautifully decorated and gilded/ on which the king's harness hangs velvet lined this bed was covered with a beautiful blanket on which the king lays down and also sits and has somebody next to him at all times who is fanning him with a fan. |
