Summary

Description
English: Nautical chart of Zwaanendael ("Swanendael") and Godyn's Bay in New Netherland. Zwaanendael was a patroonship founded by Samuel Godyn, a director of the Dutch West India Company, in 1629. Godyn made his land claim to the West India Company under jurisdiction of the Charter of Freedoms and Exemptions. After a short time, the initial 32 inhabitants were murdered by local Indians and Godyn sold his land back to the West India Company. The West India Company kept the names of the local area, including Godyn's Bay, which eventually became Delaware Bay. Ink and watercolor with pictorial relief.

An incomplete amateur translation is as follows, transcribed from User_talk:Massimo_Catarinella#Text_on_Dutch_Map. Italicised sections are untranslated approximations of the text, which is in an old form of Dutch. No guarantee is given as to the accuracy of the translations:

The nations on the South River are great Sironise on the Hocrenkil

The nations as written above have old friendships in common en are more one people and one language uyt gho. Without the Machaoretyns which are named like this because of her. Talk to those Minquens isen wants so far. here live of the Luyden is bolcoome Lyck vey. weird where Segers ofte duyirlprickers

As the women are notorious they dine each other heads, and because of this the land stays without a people.
