About this book
"Verhaal van het vergaan van het jacht de Sperwer" by Hendrik Hamel recounts the harrowing journey of the shipwrecked crew of the Sperwer, marooned on Quelpaert Island and the Korean mainland from 1653 to 1666. Hamel's vivid descriptions of survival on unfamiliar lands and encounters with local inhabitants offer a unique insight into 17th-century maritime history. This historical document not only details the crew's struggle for survival but also provides a fascinating depiction of Korea during that era. Ideal for history enthusiasts and maritime scholars, this account sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Dutch exploration and cross-cultural interactions in East Asia.
