Jacob (Jacques) Mahu (died 23 September 1598) was a Dutch explorer and leader of an expedition of five ships to India. The first expedition, which was organised by Pieter van der Hagen and Johan van der Veeken, consisted of a fleet of five ships and about 500 men. The ships with their initial captains were: * The ''Hoop'', captained by Jacques Mahu * The ''Liefde'', captained by Simón de Cordes * The ''Geloof'', captained by Gerrit van Beuningen * The ''Trouwe'', captained by Van Boekhout * The ''Blijde Boodschap'', captained by Sebald de Weert The expedition left from Rotterdam on 27 June 1598, but suffered from misfortune from the start. Many men died from sickness off the coast of Africa, amongst them Mahu himself. The leadership of the expedition was taken over by Simon de Cordes. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Mahu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
