A stunning presentation by an incredible team on an impressive project. Due to a family emergency, I had to follow the "Global Privateering" database’s launch from afar, but still enjoyed the entire event. Would have loved being there, catching up with old acquaintances. I was particularly moved by my friend Siem van Eeten's data being put to such an excellent use. Looking forward to the next steps.

I am looking forward to attending the launch of the 'Global Privateering' project, a pilot data collection regarding the Dutch ships captured by St. Malo privateers during the 17th & 18th centuries - happening tomorrow & based on the fantastic work of my dear friend Siem van Eeten & led by the wonderful Cátia Antunes & Tessa de Boer at Leiden University!
