On 11 January 1597, during the first Dutch East Company’s trade expedition led by Cornelis de Houtman, the expedition ship Amsterdam was badly damaged off the Bawean coast. The ship Amsterdam (second left) crashed near Bawean. It was abandoned and burnt at the Island of Bawean.

Three of the four skippers from the expedition died. After an absence of two and a half years the remaining three vessels limped back to Holland on August 11 and 14, 1597, with eighty-nine men out of a total of 249.
