Summary

Description
English: De Bry, Johann Theodor, (1560-1623) and Johann Israel de Bry (1565-1609). Part V, Plate 13, Description of the City Gamme lamme. From the "Little Voyages"

TERNATEAN AND DUTCH SHIPS OFF GAMMELAMME, NORTHERN MALUKU ISLANDS
Van Warwijck put in at Ambon and Ternate in 1599, while his colleague Jacob van Heemskerck sailed to Banda. Here we see the two Dutch ships on the right in the port of Gamme Lamme, the capital of Ternate. The city, present-day Castela, is on the west coast of the island. A rectangular building, the mosque, is clearly recognizable on the left. In the center of the city we see defenses built by the Portuguese in the 16th century.
In 1575 a local ruler came to power. He stayed in power until 1606, when the Spaniards conquered Gamme Lamme. In 1607 the king of Ternate asked the Dutch for assistance against the Spaniards. Even thought the Dutch were unable to entirely drive the Spaniards off the island, their assistance did result in a treaty, which secured the Dutch a monopoly on the clove trade.
