See C. Le Corbeiller, Patterns of Exchange, p. 108 for a 1664 Dutch engraving of the Stadsherberg, which stood on the Amsterdam wharf from 1662 to 1872, and, in the words of Howard and Ayers, op. cit., p. 193, must have been where the V.O.C. sailors "spent their last hours before embarkation.... and the first on their return".
