Santa Catarina (ship)
''Santa Catarina'' was a Portuguese merchant ship, a 1500-ton carrack, that was seized by the Dutch East India Company (also known as V.O.C) during February 1603 off Singapore. She was such a rich prize that her sale proceeds increased the capital of the V.O.C by more than 50%. From the large amounts of Ming Chinese porcelain captured in this ship, Chinese pottery became known in Holland as ''Kraakporselein'', or "carrack-porcelain" for many years.〔Boxer, p. 51〕
==The capture of ''Santa Catarina''==
At dawn of 25 February 1603 three Dutch ships under the command of Admiral Jacob van Heemskerk spotted the carrack at anchor off the Eastern coast of Singapore. The Portuguese ship, captained by Sebastian Serrão, was travelling from Macau to Malacca, laden with products from China and Japan, including 1200 bales of Chinese raw silk, worth 2.2 million guilders.〔 The cargo was particularly valuable because it contained several hundred ounces of musk. After a couple of hours of fighting, the Dutch managed to subdue the crew who forfeited the cargo and the ship, in return for the safety of their lives. The Amsterdam Admiralty Court declared the captured carrack good prize on 4 September 1604.
This period marked the start of the Dutch–Portuguese War that would end the Portuguese monopoly on trade in the East Indies. The Dutch who had found about the trade routes in 1596 due to another Dutchman, Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, were attempting to appropriate some of that wealth for themselves.
