ShipVoyage*

On 15 June 1661 the Nachtigal departed Vlie for the second time after returning earlier from an apparently aborted voyage. On the second attempt the vessel stopped over for ten days (between 12 and 22 August) at Cap Vert (now Dakar, Senegal) enroute to the Cape where it docked on 17 January 1662. The master was Fijaart Meindertsz Bakker, who at Cap Vert, had acquired the slave Jan Vos.²
