ShipVoyage* Between 21 May 1676 and 29 November 1676 Voorhout sailed from de Caep de Goede Hoop to Madagascar with instructions to acquire slaves for the settlement. At St. Augustin they reportedly acquired 30 children after which they proceeded to the Bays of Magelage (Nosy Antsoheribory) and Manigaer (Bombetoka Bay) where they reportedly obtained 254 slaves, of whom 22 died enroute to the Cape. The actual number of slaves acquired is reported variously in the cited publications but 281 are named in Changing Hands. Among those who were landed from Magelage were Calmeronde van Madagascar.4,5,6
