Question: Lucretia Jans, or "Lucretia van der Miles" (Amsterdam 1602 – "fl."1641), was a survivor of the events surrounding the sinking of the Batavia, was a ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), it was shipwrecked on her maiden voyage, in what year?
Context: Meermin (] ) was an 18th-century Dutch cargo ship of the "hoeker" type, one of many built and owned by the Dutch East India Company.  She was laid down in 1759 and fitted out as a slave ship before her maiden voyage in 1761, and her career was cut short by a mutiny of her cargo of Malagasy people.  They had been sold to Dutch East India Company officials on Madagascar, to be used as company slaves in its Cape Colony in southern Africa.  Half her crew and almost 30 Malagasy lost their lives in the mutiny; the mutineers deliberately allowed the ship to drift aground off Struisbaai, now in South Africa, in March 1766, and she broke up "in situ".  As of 2013, archaeologists are searching for the "Meermin"' s remains. 't Vliegend Hert also called " 't Vliegend Hart" (meaning Flying Heart) was an 18th-century East Indiaman or "mirror return ship" (Dutch: "spiegelretourschip" ) of the Dutch East India Company. "' t Vliegend Hert" was built in 1729 in Middelburg for the Chamber of Zeeland.  Her maiden voyage was in December 1730, departing from Fort Rammekens (Netherlands) to Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia), commanded by captain Abraham van der Hart. The Amsterdam (] ) was an 18th-century cargo ship of the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: "Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie"; "VOC").  The ship started its maiden voyage from Texel to Batavia on 8 January 1749, but was wrecked in a storm on the English Channel on 26 January 1749.  The shipwreck was discovered in 1969 in the bay of Bulverhythe, United Kingdom, and is sometimes visible during low tides.  The wreck site is protected under the Protection of Wrecks Act since 1974.  Some of the findings from the site are in The Shipwreck Museum in Hastings.  A replica of the ship is on display in Amsterdam. Ambon was a governorate of the Dutch East India Company, consisting of Ambon Island and ten neighbouring islands.  Steven van der Hagen captured Fort Victoria on 22 February 1605 from the Portuguese in the name of the Dutch East India Company.  Until 1619, Ambon served as the capital of the Dutch possessions in East Asia.  In that year Batavia was founded to function as the staple port for the Dutch East India Company in Asia.  The island was the world center of clove production until the 19th century.  The Dutch prohibited the rearing of the clove-tree in all the other islands subject to their rule, in order to secure the monopoly to Ambon. The Fortuyn (also spelled Fortuin) was a ship owned by the Chamber of Amsterdam of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) which was lost on its maiden voyage in 1723.  It set sail for Batavia from Texel in the Netherlands on 27 September 1723.  The ship reached the Cape of Good Hope on 2 January 1723, and continued on its voyage on 18 January.  The "Fortuyn" was never seen again and its fate is a matter of speculation. Ridderschap van Holland (] ; Knighthood of Holland) was a large "retourschip" ('return ship'), the largest class of merchantmen built by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to trade with the East Indies.  In 1694 the ship sailed for Batavia (now Jakarta, Indonesia) on her fifth voyage, but did not reach its destination and was never heard from again.  She is now thought to have been shipwrecked off the west coast of Australia. Lucretia Jans, or "Lucretia van der Miles" (Amsterdam 1602 – "fl."  1641), was a survivor of the events surrounding the sinking of the "Batavia" in 1629. Batavia (] ) was a ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).  It was built in Amsterdam in 1628, and armed with 24 cast-iron cannons and a number of bronze guns.  "Batavia" was shipwrecked on her maiden voyage, and was made famous by the subsequent mutiny and massacre that took place among the survivors.  A twentieth-century replica of the ship is also called the "Batavia" and can be visited in Lelystad, Netherlands. Aagtekerke (] ) was a ship of the Dutch East India Company built in 1724.  It was lost without trace during its maiden voyage in 1725–26, when it sailed from Cape of Good Hope in the Dutch Cape Colony to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies. The United East India Company or the United East Indian Company, also known as the United East Indies Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie ; or Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie in modern spelling; VOC), referred to by the British as the Dutch East India Company, or sometimes known as the Dutch East Indies Company, was originally established as a chartered company in 1602, when the Dutch government granted it a 21-year monopoly on the Dutch spice trade.  A pioneering early model of the multinational corporation in its modern sense, the company is also often considered to be the world's first true transnational corporation.  In the early 1600s, the VOC became the first company in history to issue bonds and shares of stock to the general public.  In other words, the VOC was the world's first formally listed public company, because it was the first corporation to be ever actually listed on an official (formal) stock exchange.  As the first historical model of the quasi-fictional concept of the megacorporation, the VOC possessed quasi-governmental powers, including the ability to wage war, imprison and execute convicts, negotiate treaties, strike its own coins, and establish colonies.
