| Summary | "Journal of Jasper Danckaerts, 1679-1680" by Jasper Danckaerts is a historical account written in the late 17th century. The work serves as a detailed diary chronicling the author's voyage from the Netherlands to New Netherland (now New York) and his travels through various American colonies, documenting encounters and observations along the way. It encapsulates the experiences and impressions of a traveler seeking to establish a communal community during a time of religious and social upheaval in both Europe and America. At the start of the journal, Danckaerts recounts the early stages of his journey, beginning on June 8, 1679. He describes the emotional farewells with friends and the challenges faced in departure, including delays and the physical discomforts of travel. The opening portion highlights his and his companion, Peter Sluyter's, preparations and expectations as they board the ship "Charles" in Amsterdam, as well as their experiences dealing with a variety of fellow passengers. Through Danckaerts's detailed observations about the ship's journey and the people they encounter, the reader is introduced to the multifaceted experiences that characterize life at sea and the diversity of society during this time.
