Willem Janszoon, the Dutch navigator and explorer, likely had a diet typical of 17th-century maritime voyages, which included hardtack (a type of dry biscuit), salted meats, dried fish, and legumes. Fresh fruits and vegetables were scarce, leading to potential nutritional deficiencies, particularly scurvy. Ships also carried limited supplies of beer or water for hydration. Overall, the food was designed for durability and long storage, rather than taste.
