Of of the ships sent in 1649 to Brazil, the following returned in the course of June 1652: in Amsterdam on the 12th, the Aemelia, Captain Floris van Oy, and on the 20th, the Graeff Willem, Captain Tas, and the Westfriesland, Captain Boonacker; in the Wielingen, on the 20th, the ship of Captain Loncq; in Rotterdam on the 25th, the Dolphijn, Captain Paulus van den Kerckhoff, and the ship of captain Marinus de Clerq (previously captain Schooneman).
From the Admiralty of Rotterdam manuscript of 26 February 1652, we believe that Captain Schooneman commanded the Rotterdam ship Dolphijn (28 guns). The reality was the Captain Paulus van den Kerckhoff commanded the Rotterdam ship Nijmegen, which was sunk on the way home.
