View of Fort Rembang, seen from the road

Rach, Johannes

View of the fort at Rembang, seen from the road.

Below right a pantjalling, or pencalang, which was a medium-sized Javanese trade vessel belonging to the VOC. Here it is readying to hoist the sails but the crew is waiting for an approaching vessel, probably coming to bring a VOC official and his wife on board.
