Description Inked publication drawings by Colin Martin. Published in 2005.
(Left) Scotland showing the Northern and Western Isles, with the location of VOC and associated wrecks. 1.
Lastdrager (1654), Yell, Shetland; 2. Kennemerland (1664), Out Skerries, Shetland; 3. de Liefde (1711), Out Skerries, Shetland;
4. Adelaar (1728), Barra, Outer Hebrides; 5. Curaçao (1729), Unst, Shetland. (Right) The Isle of Barra, showing the location
of the wreck site.
The ‘Z-VOC-M’ cipher from the printed form
on which Adelaar’s inventory of specie is listed. ‘ADL’ has
been superscribed by hand; presumably this is an abbreviation
of the ship’s name (after a detail in NAS AC 9/1203).
