GERRITSZ [GERARD, GERARDUS, GHERRITSZOON van ASSUM].

Hessel 1581-1632.
Gerritsz was apprenticed to W. J. Blaeu as an engraver before starting in business on his own account. He worked closely with Petrus Plancius and his merit may be judged by the fact that he was appointed Cartographer to the Dutch East India Company in preference to Blaeu and subsequently held the same position in a newly formed West India Company. With the new company he came into touch with Johannes de
Laet for whom he prepared a number of new maps of America in the latter's Nieuwe Wereldt published in 1625. His most important early work was a chart showing Henry Hudson's discoveries in his voyage of 1610-11: it is the first to give an outline of Hudson's Bay and indicates Hudson's belief that he had found a way to the North West Passage.

Engraver, cartographer, publisher and bookseller, b. Assum, apprenticed as engraver to Blaeu, Cartographer to Dutch E. India Co. 1617, fl. 1607; from 1612 using sign 'in de Paskaert' or 'sub signo Tabulae Nauticae'. Addresses: (1) opt Water bij die oude Brug [1609...

At the Island of Nevis on the morning of the 10th inst. and after a long and tedious decline, in the 37th year of his age.

In St. Bartholomew we did not have the slighest knowledge about his worsened situation; he wrote every now and then, constantly that he was better, threw parties and would come home; Sw efforts to have his body delivered for funeral in St B were in vain and instead the said von Hauswolff became the official representative of the Sw crown at a solemn funeral procession and burial that took place in Nevis; although von Hauswolff marked his grave with a sticker the exact place of his interment is now unknown [in spite of repeated efforts to find it as late as in the 1990's, possibly his unmarked grave is in the churchyard of The Bath Village]; left behind a heavily indebted estate; acc Gov Norderling's report Jan 13, 1821 [SBS 7 B], the creditors of the estate would have to be satisfied with a distribution of two thirds and in addition to that the Crown have to remit a great deal of its claim; among the decrees, instructions, ordinances & proclamations issued by Gov & Council during his governorship are noted: Proclamation about the succession to the Crown of the former Crown Prince Charles John after the lamentable death of King Charles XIII of April 25, 1818 [RSB April 20, 1818, # 326], Proclamation about his leaving for Nevis and transfer of the Functions of Government on Town Major Berghult until further notice and Instructions for those who either desire Passports or intend to prevent any one from obtaining such of Sept 18, 1818 [both in RSB Sept 21, 1818, # 343]; his extant letters and official reports are mainly to be found in SBS 4 A, SBS 4 B and SBS 5 A in RA; portrait at SPA 1921 :1476 after a painting made by the artist J A Gillberg in 1814, kept at Gripsholm Castle under # 3040.
