The Netherlands: c. 1740. Notes: The map covers "parts of the Caribbean, a region where the Dutch, French, British, and Spanish had significant mercantile interests. The chart was based on work by 'the skilful Capt. Jean Bertrand', and on 'Monsr. Frezier'. The former can be identified as Captain Jan Bertrand who sailed between the Netherlands and the West Indies from 1726-1734, and who probably was a Dutchman of French-Caribbean extraction. His name is found on the Nieuwe Paskaart van de Kusten van West Indien van Rio Oronoque tot Cartagena, of the eastern portion of the Caribbean. Amédée François Frézier was an Ingénieur ordinaire du Roy on Hispaniola (then named Santo Domingo), who compiled the Carte de l'Isle de Saint Domingue and surrounding waters"..."Dutch naval activity in the Caribbean increased after 1737, in order to protect mercantile trade in a dispute with Spain over a sailing route, and from Spanish-American pirates."
"Thereafter Van Keulen translated and extended it for navigation as the Nieuwe en Naaukeurige Paskaart van het Eyland Hispaniola of St. Domingo, met alle desselfs Havenen, Dieptens en Ankergronden, als meede de door passeeringe tusschen de Caiques, en andere Eylanden. naer opservatien van Monr Frezier. He dedicated it to Captain Hendrik Lijnslager, a Dutch naval officer who had provided new hydrographical information"
