Hamel s World / a Dutch-Korean encounter in the seventeenth century Rooy A collection of photographs includingIn 1653 the VOC ship Sperwer smashed to pieces on the rocks off a remote Korean island. There were thirty six survivors. The king of Korea decided that the foreigners should spend the rest of their lives in his hermit kingdom.
