Jan Janszn. Weltevree
This Rijper seaman was the first European ever to work at he court of the king of Korea, following the shipwreck in 1626 which caused him to be washed up on the shores of that kingdom. In Korea Weltevree was known as “Pak Yong”. There is a sculpture in memory of him next to the Great Church in de Rijp and a copy is also to be seen in Seoul.
