📅 16 Yüni 1894 📍 Sürnam

The steamship Voorwaarts arrived on 16 June 1894 with the second major recorded Javanese cohort in the National Archives ship chronology. Recruitment from Java was still experimental, but it became a long-running source of plantation labor. The registers preserve arrival and contract details, while the workers’ own reasons for migrating and experiences of coercion require careful interpretation beyond administrative fields.
