This letter is part of the prizepapers of der Aufwaerther from 1805 kept in Kew .

Translation 2015 
Greetings from Me ,master Heijndrick
Vlieland to Your Honour C.P.Gevers 
I let you know that we were brought in on Friday Night
At Twelve o´clock by a Sloop.
On Saturday they have taken us to Harwich 
They took our shipspapers
And the shipspapers were send to London
Because our load was bricks and sleepers
in my own account
our license was good as well as the shipspapers 
So I do not know what the problem is .
As our papers were to London and were
valid for an other month
So i will like to ask your Honour to look at this papers 
to see why we were taken
because I am not allowed to leave the ship
Otherwise I would come to London myself
But we are arrested and Your Honour
 could look in the correspondence with his brother 
Because I have always sailed on this papers
And may ship has come aboard 
and always been proved allright
And I Hendrick Vlieland and my ship 
were always been able to sail free and liberal
to every harbour or stream we wanted.
So why we were brought in I would not know.
So I request your honour some money
because I myself are not wellknown
So I expect a letter soon how to get some money
as we did not know if it was an Englishman or a Frenchman
because he told us to bring us to Duinkerken.
And it was night when we were taken and came on board.

So greeting from me Hendrick Vlieland to your honour C.P.Gevers

at 4th of May 1805

Heijndrick Vlieland .

This trancription  we received from H.Schelvis .
The Council of Noordwijk and the Naval council 
Citizens !
Immediately after your letter of 30 December we summoned the accountantsof Noordwijk on sea and informed them that 4 shipsafter our letter og the 9th of Demember were still  in the `shipshole`(schuitengat)already 3 The young Elizabeth , owner Arie Schoneveld van der Cloet.and now for three years owned by Frederick Jongbloed from Papenburg and sailed by Pieter Vink one ship the young Johannis owned by Jan Gijse Zonneveld but now for three years owned by Johannis Nieuwenhoven from  Embden and sailed by Thomas Vink and a ship named  Maria, also owned by Jan Gijze Zonneveld, but for 3 years belonging to Hille Bouwerman & Zoon from Embden and sailed by Jan Moeijenkind, in the meantime sailed for  Rotterdam .
The widow of Claas Waasdorp owner of the last ship name the young Pieter sailed by Jan Kaak, asked us to harbour the ship deep in the canal at the end of the shiphole because there the ship will be hidden from the enemy instead of nearer to the entrance which we could not refuse.
Also we have to inform you that some days ago on the beach and late in the shipshole is arrived a bomship named Aufwaerter to be patched up and owned by Hendrik Vlieland .at the moment citizen and subject of the count of Knijshaulen deed of 5 Juli 1803 provided to us and now on the beach a bomschuit new made and almost finished by shipswright M.Kruit expenses payd by Fa Jongbloed from  Papenburq, and to inform you that those two ships cannot leave from here .Also we give you the name of the ship which stated in the letter of 9th Decenber had already left  The Young Ary and that ship was sold in Dordrecht on account of the French Government,as well as the date of changing ownership  of the ships forgotten by the shipowners
