The ship De Bosbeek was outfitted for the trans-Atlantic slave trade by the Zeeland chamber of the WIC (West India Company).

The ship departed from Vlissingen for West Africa on January 27, 1718, for its final voyage. There, 381 enslaved people were taken on board.

Upon arrival in the colony of Essequibo on December 17, 1718, 303 of them were still alive and were sold there. Subsequently, *De Bosbeek* was wrecked (broke apart) in the Essequibo River.
