Summary[edit]

Description
English: Ships of those from Banda and Ternate
Those galleys from the island Banda called by the inhabitants Carocolla and marked with A are necessary for the war against their enemies because they know how to row very fast with those while they are built with thin siding and are very light they are not dabbed with pitch like ours but the joints stuffed with hemp from the Indian nuts and then greased with chalk and another material combined so that water cannot cause any damage. B. is the king of Ternate's Kora Kora, with an extension built onto both sides lying almost flat on the water on which the slaves and servants are sitting and rowing at all times. Above on this Kora Kora are sitting several which are playing on drums and other instruments. There are also 7 great cannons on top surrounded by several long spears on the back of this Kora Kora is a nice bed/ beautifully decorated and gilded/ on which the king's harness hangs velvet lined this bed was covered with a beautiful blanket on which the king lays down and also sits and has somebody next to him at all times who is fanning him with a fan.
