Return Voyage To Holland
The Eendracht remained in the East Indies for about a year, possibly engaging in local commercial ventures.
On 17 December 1617 she again set sail for the return voyage home, leaving the port of Bantam and bound for Zeeland in Holland, with Dirk Hartog again as her master. This voyage proved to be relatively uneventful, and she arrived back in Holland on 16 October 1618 after a period of some ten months at sea. Captain Hartog left the service of the VOC shortly after the return, to resume private trading ventures in the Baltic. He died a few years later.
