= Title-p. not filled out with the names of the ship and its captain and the destiny of the journey. On the basis of the entries in the log book, it becomes clear that the ship left Rotterdam on Wednesday 29 June 1858. Its cargo consisted of 1 passenger, "10 vaatjes zilvergeld, 40 ledige waterleggers (...), 1 kistje goud en zilver werk (...) 150 vaatjes boter gem. JK (...) en 30 last ballast (...)". The first island that is mentioned is St Anthonie (off the coast of Canada) in the North Atlantic Ocean; from the North Atlantic Ocean the ship sailed to the Southern Atlantic Ocean and then on to the Indian Ocean on the 8th of September, "Straat Soenda" on 6 October and arrived on 8 (or 9?) October at the "Reede van Batavia", where it unloaded its cargo and loaded new cargo for its next destiny. The ship remained at Batavia until 29 October. From there it travelled in the direction of the "berg van Pagal" and the "berg van Cheribon[?]", where it loaded sugar and coffee onto the ship. On the 10th of December the ship began its return journey to The Netherlands, via the Indian Ocean, the Bank of Agulhas, then over the Southern Atlantic Ocean to the Northern Atlanctic Ocean, then via "De Gronden" to the English Channel (7 April 1859) and finally reaching Holland on 10 April 1859 (no mention of the port). The log ends wih the following annotation: "A. van der Eyck. 129 dagen van de Reede van Batavia [signed by the captain]."

77/2021 [Maritime history]. Waardenberg, J. (2nd half 18th cent.). "Joost Waardenberg zijn te boeck gestelde zeilen in den briel 1745." Manuscript, pen and ink, entries dated between 1745-1882, (276) lvs., most of the textleaves have a schematic drawing of the sail with all its measurements, contemp. vellum, 15,5x20 cm. (leaf size).

- Contents loose(ning). Vellum fingersoiled (as it should be!).

= The first 80 leaves read like a textbook on how to cut the various different types of sails for the huge variety of ships that sailed the seas in Holland at the time. This section is written in a very fine hand. In the leaves that follow after folio 80, the text becomes more practical (and the handwriting less neat), and the author mentions the names of the shipowners and/ or the name and type of their ships, the year in which he made the sail, and comments on how the sail functioned, with phrases such as: "dit Zeil stont moeÿ en Was Wee Van diepten" and "dit Zel[sic] was voor den Nieuw: heins van Cees en Jacob boogert En stont Wel". Another note shows that the sail cutter also kept his "snijboek" for the practical purpose of being able to work more efficiently: "dit Zeil is ook goed Voor Rotterdam En ook voor delff" (referring to the "Loosbooten" (pilot boats) for which he cut sails). Occasionally Waardenberg also mentions the price that he asked/ received for his work. A remarkable and very rare type of book (especially because of the long period that it covers), shedding light on the long (and sl. secretive) tradition of the craft of sail cutting. Only a small number of these "cutter's books" have survived. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXVII.
