La VOC, T'Eylandt Mauritius et Rodrigues

Chan Low, J: 2001 National Library, softcover, 118 pages, illustrated. La VOC, T’Eylandt Mauritius et Rodrigues presents a documented study of early Dutch encounters with Mauritius and Rodrigues, centered on the 1601 voyage of Wolfert Harmensz and the broader Dutch East India Company context in the southwest Indian Ocean. It situates these islands within VOC logistics and exploration routes, showing how refreshment stops, ship repair needs, and strategic competition shaped pre-colonial and early colonial activity around Mauritius and nearby Rodrigues.
