Dutch Explorers correction

In your article on early Dutch explorers on the Australian coast (1603-1632) you show the owners of the "Batavia" as Verende de Ort-Indische Compagnie(VOC) The name should be: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie.

This I learned in school in the Netherlands during my youth. The Internet confirms the title.

I hope you may be able to correct the entry.
