text:
Willem Bosman was a merchant in the service of the Dutch West India Company, spending most of his time in the Dutch Gold Coast. Bosman was born in Utrecht. Although he sailed to the Gold Coast as an apprentice when he was only 16 years of age, he managed to climb the ranks and eventually became head merchant. In 1702 he sailed back to the Dutch Republic, and little is known of his later life. Bosman is best known for his description of the Gold Coast titled Nauwkeurige beschrijving van de Guines
