What did the Europeans of the day do of boatloads of clove? Was it a more popular spice back then?
Which time period? This is a very weird map. The Dutch and British East India companies never occupied all those places before the 1798(the year that the Dutch Company stopped existing)
Why are the Dutch trading with either the Faeroe islands or the North Pole?
Or in reality: The Spice Trade map of the Portuguese Casa da Índia, that was later copied and stolen by Jan Huyghen and put in a book, The Itinerary, that later the VOC and EIC used to get spices.
The modern day borders ruin the ascetic of this map.
This route was explored, fully mapped and used by the Portuguese 200 years before any of these companies existed.

The spice must flow
Kokosnoten zijn geen specerijen!
