Wanneer er in de baai van Galle geen plaats genoeg was, weken de schepen uit naar de baai van Niwella (\u201c<em>Nieb\u2019ella<\/em>\u201d op de kaart) , zo&#8217;n 55 km oostelijker gelegen.

Kort na de verovering op de Portugezen kregen de voornaamste eilanden de namen van Nederlandse steden. Op de kaart staan daarvan aangegeven: Amsterdam, Middelburg, Leiden, Delft, Hoorn en Enkhuizen. Het eilandje Delft, ca 40 km ten zuidwesten van Jaffna, heeft zijn naam in de loop der eeuwen behouden.<\/p>\n<p>Prijs: VERKOCHT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DE VOC OP SRI LANKA \u201cNieuwe Kaart van het Eyland Ceylon\u201d, uit Fran\u00e7ois Valentijn\u2019s \u201cOud en Nieuw Oost-Indien\u201d, naar het ontwerp van Johan van Leenen, gegraveerd door Jan van Braam en uitgegeven te Dordrecht door Gerard onder de Linden in 1724-1726.
