About: Meermin

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Meermin (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmeːrmɪn]) was an 18th-century Dutch cargo ship of the type, one of many built and owned by the Dutch East India Company. She was laid down in 1759 and fitted out as a slave ship before her maiden voyage in 1761, and her career was cut short by a mutiny of her cargo of Malagasy people. They had been sold to Dutch East India Company officials on Madagascar, to be used as company slaves in its Cape Colony in southern Africa. Half her crew and almost 30 Malagasy lost their lives in the mutiny; the mutineers deliberately allowed the ship to drift aground off Struisbaai, now in South Africa, in March 1766, and she broke up in situ. As of 2013, archaeologists are searching for the Meermin's remains.

The ship's plans are held at the Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam, and are available to view online in low resolution. The ship type "" was named after its original purpose, using baited hooks to catch fish, and distinctive features of a are the "apple cheeks" of the bow.
