A comprehensive Dutch maritime lexicon provides alphabetical entries explaining words and phrases used in shipping and commerce, accompanied by general legal provisions relevant to the trade. Entries offer definitions, etymological and linguistic remarks, proverbs and idioms derived from seafaring, and citations from earlier authors.

The work aims to serve sailors, merchants, and language researchers by clarifying nautical vocabulary and its usages.
