Voyages of New Netherland
1609–1664
The map represents the various routes ships took to get to New Netherland. Thicker lines indicate a higher number of voyages using that route. By far, the greatest number of voyages sailed directly from the Dutch Republic to New Netherland, though it is likely that more voyages stopped in Curaçao than is reflected in the records. This map places New Netherland firmly in the seventeenth-century Atlantic arena.
