About Pieter, Baron Melvill van Carnbee

Baron Pieter Melvill van Carnbee or Peter Melvill de Carnbee was a Dutch geographer. He served in the Dutch Navy from 1835 until his death in 1856. In his early career, he was known for his cartography and hydrography of the Dutch East Indies. In 1842, he completed a map of Java over five sheets. This was followed a few years later by a chart of the waters between Sumatra and Borneo, which was published in two parts in 1845 and in 1846. For three years, he worked on the Monitor of the Indies, a series of scientific papers on the Netherlands' foreign possessions. At the time of his death, he had completed 25 sheets of a general atlas of the Dutch Indies. The sixty-sheet atlas was later completed by Willem Frederik Versteeg in 1862.
