• DESCRIPTION: The first chart exclusively of the Chesapeake Bay to appear in a Dutch Sea atlas. This chart appeared in Roggeveen's "Het Brandende Ween" or "The Burning Fen," the first published pilot that was devoted to America. This work is extremely rare as the atlas was unable to compete with the better produced but less accurate sea atlas by Goos, 1666 and later. ARENT ROGGEVEEN fl. 1665-79. Roggeveen was a land surveyor, mathematician, poet and teacher of navigation. Born in Delfshaven, he moved to Middelburg where both the Dutch East and West India Companies were based. He was employed by both companies as a teacher in the art of navigation. He also helped maintain their collections of hydrographic manuscripts and charts, including Spanish portulans of the West Indies. In the 1660's Roggeveen compiled a series large scale charts of the North American coast line, West Indies and West Africa. These were the first such charts printed in Holland.
