Paardenbaai harbour from the water
Watercolour by Richard Bateman Lloyd
One year after this painting was made, the Dutch returned to Aruba.
Fort Zoutman — still standing today — received a clock tower in 1868,
renamed Willem III Tower in honour of the Dutch king.
The Amistad, commanded by Captain James Cantfort, would not share its longevity.
