Career

Captain Hopefar Bendall was her captain for the first five, successful voyages.[1]

Voyage #1 - Madras and Bengal; 1671/2 season.
Voyage #2 - St Helena and Bantam; 9 May 1674 – 30 June 1675.
Voyage #3 - Madras and Bengal; 8 January 1676 – 13 August 1677.
Voyage #4 - St Helena and Bantam; departed 27 Mar 1678.

Loss

For her sixth voyage, Johanna was under the command of Captain Robert Brown.[1] She left the Downs on 24 February 1682, and wrecked near the Cape Agulhas on 8 June 1682, while in a convoy to India with four other ships. Ten persons lost their lives, while the remaining 104 were able to make their way to Cape Town.

Post-script

A considerable amount of gold was on board. Dutch East India Company Governor of the Cape Simon van der Stel immediately despatched a recovery expedition led by Olof Bergh that recovered some of it. Three hundred years later, in 1982, treasure hunters salvaged a further 23,000 coins and several hundred kilograms of silver.
