"Schematic map of the naval battle between Dutch Vice-Admiral Pietersz and Portuguese Captain Estevao Teixeira de Matos. On 6 October 1602 Vice Admiral Jakob Pietersz Enkhuisen, commanding three warships, engaged a Portuguese armada under Captain Estevao Teixeira de Matos in an attempt to blockade Johor Lama. This map by the German publisher De Bry depicts the various stages of the battle. The Dutch victory convinced Sultan 'Ala'ud-din Shah to ally with the Dutch against the Portuguese."
