Accounts of excavations of lost V.O.C. ships have been the subject of a number of detailed publications. The publications listed below, in particular the Hollandia Compendium (Gawronski, 1984), have been of great help in both the preparation of the classification system and the identification of objects and the interpretation of structure.
