La baye de Isle et Cite de Borneo . . .

The map, engraved by master engraver Baptista Van Deutecum, shows a detailed view of Van Noort's ship in the large bay of Brunei. Van Noort relied upon Chinese pilots which he had employed to serve as ambassadors to the Sultan, who had to be persuaded that the Dutch were not the hated Spanish. The map depicts local boats clustered around Van Noort's vessel, which is a reference to the roughly 100 native proas which surrounded the ship when it attempted to set anchor on January 1, 1601. Van Noort's account of the Island follows after Pigafetta's account, and is one of the earliest European accounts of this important island in the region.
