		Two of the ships can be identified to the east of the slicks and three are clustered to the south.

		Through their privately owned East India and West India companies, established in 1602 and 1621, respectively, the Dutch controlled much of the trade -- sugar and spice, but also slaves -- from the east coast of Africa to Japan and from the west coast of Africa to the Americas.

		Like its predecessor in the East, the West India Co. was a state-supported, privately owned company managed by a board of directors empowered with monopolistic rights of trade and broad discretion in military and judicial affairs over a large area, extending from the west coast of Africa to the west coast of the Americas.
