(Passenger) ShipVoyage On 7 December 1667 the Dordrecht, Kattenburg, Wapen van Middelburg, Oudshoorn, Hollandse Tuin and Vergulde Tijger departed Batavia enroute to de Caep de Goede Hoop where it docked on 23 Feb 1668. Among those on board the Hollandse Tuin who remained when the fleet sailed, was Tobias Marquaert.4,1 
Departure* After 28 September 1687,Tobias Marquaert and Catharina van den Bergh departed the Cape for Batavia after Tobias was said to have cruelly treated his slaves. They sailed on board one of several vessels destined for East which departed after he sold his slaves in late September. They were accompanied by Reijna Marquaert, Regina Marquaert, Catrina Marquaert, Abigael Marquaert and Tobias Marquaert.5,6
