Thanks for the photos. I recently learned that the director of the DWIC - including Curacao - was headquartered in New Amsterdam (now known as New York City). When Peter Stuyvesant was director, he took a keen interest in the distant island, having been previously stationed there. And his son was stationed on Curacao, so he could get news from the island as fast as ships could sail.

The DWIC's main activity in its early days was privateering against the Spanish. New Amsterdam was known as the headquarters of a lot of privateers and pirates. If we ever get a new version of SMP, I hope the map will include New Amsterdam in the 1640 and 1660 scenarios!

It sounds like the Governor of Curacao was an employee of DWIC?

I believe that is correct. The DWIC had several governors scattered around its various properties. The company continued to run its colonies as a business until its dissolution in 1791.

At one time, the Dutch legislature passed an act providing for New Netherland to become an eighth province of the Netherlands, but it was immediately rescinded because a new war with England was brewing.

This is a picture of Duke Roland receiving his promotion. Since he was in the new world, the King of France did not come over here to promote him. Instead, the King's Sister came over for the ceremony. It was a colorful event followed by a grand feast and Ball! This is where Roland met Esmeralda!
