With original hand colouring.<\/p>\n<p>While the Dutch made concerted efforts to establish colonies along the Essequibo, Berbice, and Demerary rivers and elsewhere on the mainland, Cura\u00e7ao proved a more enduring project. The island was well positioned for trading, and it lacked many of the harsh conditions of the continent.<\/p>\n<p>Cura\u00e7ao was conquered by the Dutch from the Spaniards in 1634 as part of the Eighty Years&#8217; War. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dutch_West_India_Company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dutch West India Company<\/a> (WIC) was particularly interested in Cura\u00e7ao because of its large natural harbour, the Schottegat, which could be reached from the sea via the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sint_Anna_Bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sint Anna Bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after the occupation of the island, a provisional defense structure was built at the entrance of St. Anna Bay. From this first fortification a defensive work was created from stone, called Fort Amsterdam (seen on the inset in the lower right). The governor resided in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fort_Amsterdam_(Cura%C3%A7ao)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fort Amsterdam<\/a>, it housed offices and warehouses of the WIC, and quartered the officers and soldiers of the garrison.<\/p>\n<p>Curacao has a fascinating history; it was actively colonized by the Dutch starting in 1634. Along with the Dutch came a large contingent of Sephardic Jews who contributed substantially to the island&#8217;s culture and economy. Indeed, Curacao has the oldest active Jewish congregation in the Americas, dating back to 1651. The Curacao synagogue is the oldest in continuous use in America, having first opened in 1732 on the site of a previous synagogue.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro
