(Fleet) ShipVoyage On 17 January 1658 Domingo van Bengale was an exiled convict on board the Prinses Royael, one of the vessels of the return fleet which left Batavia on 17 January 1658 and which included Hoff van Zealandt, all enroute to de Caep de Goede Hoop where they arrived on 1 April 1658.2 
ShipVoyage* On 27 January 1662 the Hoff van Zealandt departed Wielingen enroute to Wielingen, de Caep de Goede Hoop, where it docked on 25 July 1662. Catharina Ustings and Corporael Gabriel Joosten was among the passengers on board. It had departed Wielingen with 400 men on board. It was an eventful and harrowing five month journey. According to the governor's journal of the day, the Hoff van Zeelant had put back to te Veer, where skipper Cornelis Drelingcourt was removed by the Directors because of complaints by the crew, chief officer Joost van Stappen being appointed in his place. Many of the crew had deserted at te Veer. The ship finally docked at the Cape in hazy weather under the command of provisional skipper van Stappen. Also aboard was the junior merchant Paulus de Maulier who was very ill, the bodies of 20 people who had died enroute from scurvy and 50 more sick with it; but all aboard "more or less" affected and orders were issued for "refreshment of the sick".3,4,5
