In 1601 four English ships left London for the pepper ports of Sumatra and Java, on a voyage that took more than two years. This is what life was like on those first East India Company voyages, told slowly for sleep.


The first English voyages to Sumatra, Java, Surat and the Mughal court, 1600 to 1619. We sail with James Lancaster to Aceh and Bantam, follow William Hawkins to the court of Jahangir, wait in the roads at Swally with Thomas Best, and travel with Sir Thomas Roe through the moving Mughal court. Gentle narration, no verdicts, just ships, monsoon winds and the pages of old journals.
