- Comment: I enjoyed the article on the Woestduin very much. Nevertheless, unfortunately the draft has to be declined. The sections on History and Fate, Rescue Operations and Aftermatn are for the most part a verbatim translation of pages 60-62 of the cited Master´s Thesis of AMC van Dissel, which on its turn seems to have paragraphs "borrowed" (ontleend) from D. Roos, ‘De ondergang van het VOC-schip “Woestduyn”’, De Blauwe Wimpel 39 (1985) 118-121. Unfortunately I could not check the latter source but in any case, the use of the Master´s Thesis is restricted and requires permission from the author. Maybe the author of this article is the author of the thesis and wishes to donate the rights. In that case please check WP:DCM. In any case, an effort should be made to summarize in own words instead of closely paraphrasing. See WP:CLOP. Please re-submit this excellent article but without copyright or close paraphrasing issues of the original texts in Dutch. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 01:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Woestduin, also written as Woestduijn and Woestduyn was an 18th-century East Indiaman of the Dutch East India Company.
During the last part of her fifth return voyage from Batavia, Dutch East Indies, she wrecked 25 July 1779 near Dishoek. Around 49 people drowned. 87 crew members were rescued during the rescue operation initiated by Frans Naerebout . The rescuers were rewarded, Naerebout became famous and received after his death a statue at Vlissingen. Pilot Thijs Wiegman was blamed for the disaster and was severely punished.[3]
A range of depictions were made of the sinking of the ship and the rescue operation; many of them are in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Ship details
Woestduin was built in 1767 in Amsterdam for the Chamber of Amsterdam . She was made of wood and was 45.7 x 11 metres. She had a loading capacity of 1150 tons.[1] The ship had capacity for 239-369 crew members.[2][4]
Depictions
Engel Hoogerheyden (1740-1807) made together with Czech-Dutch engraver Mathias de Sallieth (1749-1791) and engraver Arend Wzn Fokke a series of four copper engravings of the destruction of the Woestduin.[1]
