On Board
It is possible to differentiate the number of those on board into various categories. For the outward journey, these are seafarers, soldiers, craftsmen, and passengers. The craftsmen are those who were employed to perform some particular service in Asia, and are thus not part of the crew as such. 'Passenger' is in fact a residual category, including high officials of the Company, including ministers of religion with their wives and servants, but also slaves and stowaways. Whenever such a differentiation is not possible, which is especially the case in the early years, a figure for the total is given. Italics are used for this, or when the figures refer to more than one category. Only those categories are mentioned which were on board. Therefore, when one category is mentioned, this implies that the others were not represented on board. The sources for the return voyages are of a different kind and normally far less complete. They are totally absent for the journey between the Cape and the Neth erlands. However, another category must be mentioned, namely the impotenten, who for various reasons were released from active service for the VOC and sent back to Europe. With regard to many voyages the sources only give the number of passengers and impotenten, and not the number of sailors and soldiers. Obviously, the absence of figures under these headings does not imply that there were none on board. Information on the outward voyages is divided into six columns:
I.
The number on board at departure.

II.
The number dying between the Netherlands and the Cape. Frequently this figure refers to all the categories together, even when the other information is available per category. In such cases this figure is printed in italics.

III.
The number who left the ship at the Cape.

IV.
The number who came on board at the Cape.

V.
The number dying on the whole voyage. Subtraction of III from V gives the number dying between the Cape and Asia.

VI.
The number on board on arrival in Asia.

Three columns are given for the homeward voyages:

I.
The number on board at departure.

II.
The number dying en route to the Cape.

III.
The number who went from board at the Cape.

The figures in the various columns are taken from different sources which are not always consistent with each other. Therefore the figures on changes in the number of those on board during the voyages do not always tally with those on the size of the crew at departure and arrival.
