(3) If you are ever looking for a newspaper article, we highly recommend using Delpher. We found newspaper reports in the Amsterdam Courant of August 16, 1698, in Avec privilège de nos-seigneurs les Etats de Hollande et de West-Frise of August 18, 1698 and in the Oprechte Haerlemse Courant on August 19, 1698.

(4) According to the Oprechte Haerlemse Courant of August 19, 1698, de Gent, Boor, Berckel, Leck and Bloys became separated from the ships Santloper, Carthago, Ysselmonde and Shellack. This was caused by fog 1 to 2 days before they entered the Texel roadstead near the place called 't Doggersant.

(6)  In January 1703, as a former skipper on Oostindien, he bought a house and yard in the Kerkstraat between the Vijzelstraat and Reguliersgracht in Amsterdam, where he was able to enjoy his old age for another seven years. (See in the Amsterdam city archives both archive number 5062, inventory number 77 and DTB Burial register, archive number 5001, inventory number 1070, the pages 108 verso and 109).

(11) Presumably Hilbrand van der Heijden, because on March 18, 1702 Cornelis also authorized him in this case (before notary Gijsbert van Schoonderwoert).
