Historians differ as to whether Vespucci or Alonso de Ojeda
(regarded as the Spanish founder of Venezuela), or even an unnamed
ship's captain was the first Spanish explorer to actually set foot
on Curaçao in 1499, but it is Vespucci who seems to have left the
first written account of his discoveries; for more information about
the controversy see Felice Cardot (Chapter 1), Hartog (1968: Chapter
2) and R. A. Römer (1996).

Goslinga (1992), p. 10. Goslinga inaccurately refers to these
activities as piratería - piracy - although, as a semi-official
body, the WIC would more accurately be described as participating in
acts of privateering.
