QR code
"Geschiedenis der Noordsche Compagnie" by Samuel Muller is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the history and significance of the Northern Company, particularly focusing on the Dutch expeditions to the North Sea during the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as the broader implications for Dutch maritime trade and exploration. The opening of the text sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Northern
Company's contributions to Arctic expeditions, including discussions of international tensions surrounding trade in these northern waters. It introduces the reader to the various voyages undertaken by the Dutch as they navigated the challenges of Arctic exploration and trade, while also hinting at the competitive dynamics with other European powers like England and Denmark. The author emphasizes the importance of the Northern Company in advancing Dutch interests, despite its relative obscurity compared to more famous trading companies, and begins to outline the complexities of its history intertwined with the discoveries and endeavors of the time.
