Abstract:
In August 1724 the MCC (Commercial Company of Middelburg) fitted out a small fleet of two well armed frigates, called the Don Louis and Don Carlos and the supply vessel Patache el Mercurio for undertaking a South Sea expedition. Includes an account of
the travels of the Don Louis third mate, Hubregt Kempe, conveying an impression of the hard life of a sailor aboard this frigate, including the loss of two thirds of the total crew and the uprising and insubordination of crew members. The MCC expedition ended in disaster as the Don Louis was seized by the Spaniards and the other two ships were captured by the Portuguese.
