A Dutch Castaway on Ascension Island in 1725:
On 5 May 1725 a Dutch ship's officer, Leendert Hasenbosch, was set ashore on the
desert island of Ascension in the South Atlantic Ocean, as a punishment for
sodomy. He tried to survive on turtles and birds but found very little water on
the barren island. He wrote a diary. He probably died after about half a year.
In January 1726 British mariners found his tent, diary and other things and
brought the diary to England. In 1728 a first English version of the diary of
the Dutch castaway was published. Other versions followed. Who was the castaway?
The truth was disclosed by the Dutch historian Michiel Koolbergen (1953-2002),
in a posthumously published book in Dutch. With the support of Michiel
Koolbergen's family and publisher, this new book discloses the truth in English.
This book is illustrated with line drawings, both historic ones and by the Dutch
artist Anneke de Vries. , Travel - General ; General, A Dutch Castaway on
