ShipVoyage*

In May 1663 the 't Waterhoen departed the Cape on a lengthy but not very productive slaving expedition to Madagascar. They returned to the Cape on 5 December, during that time managing to purchase or barter for just seven slaves and not much food. However on 29 October, the day before their departure for the Cape, five people, including one of the slaves, absconded. The vessel returned to the Cape with six slaves - three women, two small boys and a little girl.^3,4
