Image: The Flying Dutchman (detail), by Charles Temple Dix. In the talk I mention a handout with a sketch map—that isn't included here, but any map of South Africa showing Table Bay and Cape Agulhas will do just as well (if you want to remind yourself where those places are). N.B. The colony of Dutch Ceylon in fact fell to the British in 1796, not 1795 as I say here.
