Tips

Theo

January 31, 2021

In the colony shops of the Maatschappij van Benadigheid, the colonists could buy everything they needed, except liquor. This was forbidden. By introducing their own currency, they could keep alcohol out of the area. This money was not accepted in the surrounding places, such as Vledder and Steenwijk. Settlers returning from family visits were under strict control of illegal alcohol taking.

Colonists who wanted to visit family members, for example in connection with illness or death, usually received permission from the director of the colony. However, it was known to the management and the district wardens that colonists who returned from the vicinity of Schiedam had to be extremely well monitored. After all, Schiedam had the gin distilleries and sometimes the colonists came back with bags full of gin.
