Original Note:
Shown ship is a replica of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) ship Amsterdam, meant for spice trade and not transportation of slaves. Amsterdam sank during it's 1st voyage. VOC should not be confused with Dutch West India Company, which was active in slave trade. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_(1748)
