Ridderschap van Holland (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrɪdərsxɑp fɑn ˈɦɔlɑnt]; 'Knighthood of Holland') was a large retourschip ('return ship'), the largest class of merchantmen built by the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, commonly abbreviated to VOC) to trade with the East Indies. In 1694 the ship sailed for Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) on her fifth voyage, but was never heard from again.[1] She is now thought to have been shipwrecked off the west coast of Australia.
