Dynasty [23 January 2013]

When did Sijmon leave? Sijmon’s older brother, Philip, was married in Gouda on May 13, 1653 [15].

It is believed that the two brothers were close, and so it is likely that Sijmon wished to attend his brother’s wedding.

Consequently, we can assume that he left Amsterdam after May.

Recently, it has become known that two ships made the journey from Amsterdam to New Netherland that year, both departing at the same time [16].

These ships were the Coninck Salomon and the Geldersche Blom (King Solomon and the Flower of Gelderland). Family history states that Sijmon sailed aboard the Dynasty. No vessel by that name was known to have made the journey to New Netherland.)

The two ships left Amsterdam on Saturday, August 23, 1653 for the Dutch island of Texel, there to begin the trans-Atlantic voyage.
