  1. In het passagierslijst van de Phoenix staat Roelof Wildenbeest met 24-11-1811 als geboortedatum. Dat is onjuist. UIt de extracten bij zijn huwelijksakte blijkt dat hij geboren is op 24-11-1805. Zie http://lammershof.nl/fileadmin/user_upload/images/geboorteakte-Wisch-Roelof-Wildenbeest-24-11-1805.jpg

  2. Bedankt voor deze correctie, ik heb het verwerkt in het artikel.

    Hallo Yvette,
    Jan Hendrik (John Henry) Wilterdink geboren op b. 4 Jun 1818
    Mis ik in de lijst. Hij is ook meegegaan op deze boottocht.
    Uit bronnen uit Armerika, is hij in New York uitgestapt (tussenstop) want hij had geen geld meer voor de verdere boottocht.
    geweldige site!

    • Hallo,

      Bedankt voor je compliment. Deze Jan Hendrik ken ik wel, maar omdat hij op het moment van de ramp niet aan boord was hoort hij voor mij niet in de lijst thuis. Deze lijst bevat alle overlevenden en slachtoffers, dus de passagiers en bemanning die de fatale nacht aan boord waren. Er zijn nog tientallen meer mensen die onderweg uit zijn gestapt, of eerder vertrokken waren (bijv. om dienstplicht te ontvluchten) die daardoor niet aan boord waren.

  4. It’s so moving to see these names and think how they might have founded families here in the United States. I know it doesn’t exactly make sense, but I read this and think what if these were the names of my Dutch ancestors instead of Reesink, Meerdink, Freers, Schreurs, Warnshuis and Huinink? They could have been someone’s ancestors but for that horrible end to their lives.

  5. Todd Heideman says

    Thanks for the list. I found several of them to be my cousins. While I heard about this as a kid it really hit home seeing all these names I know from my own genealogy research.
