| Meer info | Translated from the Dutch by George Windsor Earl. Originally published in the Dutch language in 1828 as "Reize door den weinig bekenden Zuidelijken Molukschen Archipel ...". This expedition led by Kolff was sent out by the Dutch to investigate the massacre of British supply ships in 1824. Kolff explored much of the Moluccan Islands and the Java Sea and his descriptions of these exotic places are fascinating. Kolff writes with refreshing honesty and frankness about the people he meets on the voyage along with descriptions of the fruits and vegetables his crew encounters along the way. An important source regarding the exploration of the South Pacific Islands. After the establishment of a British outpost on Melville Island and its subsequen massacre by the natives, the Dutch man of war the "Dourga" was dispatched to re-assert government authority on the island. A descriptive narrative including expeditions in the Molucca and Java seas, Timor, the Serwatty (Serawatti) Islands, Lette, Noa and Roma, Damma, Lakor, Luan, Baba, the Arru (Aru) Islands, the Tenimber Islands, the Ceram-Laut and Goram Islands, New Guinea, & the Ki (Kei) island. A valuable early primary source for the voyage to these exotic islands and peoples. Good condition, thight binding, spine ends worn. Without the frontispiece map and the folding map 'The Indian Archipelago 1837'. |
