Description
- Pas-Kaart van de Vaar-weg van Straat Banca af tot aan Pulo Temaon, inhoudende de Straeten Drioens, Sabon, Brouwer en Sincapoera. Amsterdam: Johannes van Keulen, [1753 or later], 580 x 500mm., printed on 2 sheets joined, contemporary hand colour
- paper
Very detailed chart of the treacherous passages and approaches to Singapore, highlighting the western passages, southwards between the Malacca peninsula and Sumatra and northwards between the islands of Banca and Sumatra, with large numbers of soundings and notes, detailing the rocks and shoals. Surprisingly, there is little information on the ownership of the various islands and harbours, or even of colonial trading posts, except that an English factory is marked on Sumatra, in the region of modern Selat Panjang.
Literature
Koeman, IV p.364-5 & Keu 135c [612].
