&gt; Impressive! Was this the expedition with Louwrens Hacquebord? He<br/>
&gt; travelled on a ship named after Plancius. I&#39;ve got a book about this<br/>
&gt; expedition. I am very interested in the old whaling trade, and have<br/>
&gt; lots of books about it...<br/>
<br/>
The Plancius Foundation organized many trips with the mv Plancius to<br/>
Svalbard archipelago.<br/>
<br/>
I have a copy of their 1984 brochure. That year was their 4th season. In<br/>
that season they organized four different trips.<br/>
Also in 1984 Louwrens Hacquebord travelled with Plancius to Jan Mayen.<br/>
I think that Plancius also was used during the 1979 and 1980 Spitsbergen<br/>
Expeditie.<br/>
<br/>
To read more about Plancius I recommend this book:<br/>
In het kielzog van Willem Barentsz. Met het expeditieschip &quot;Plancius&quot; naar<br/>
het hoge noorden.<br/>
A.J. Veldkamp, ADZ Vlissingen 1996.<br/>
Albert Veldkamp was captain of Plancius and also a crew-member of the whaler<br/>
Willem Barendsz I and II.<br/>
