Hoop was a Dutch sailing ship that sank in 1605 during a storm in the Pacific Ocean, while she was travelling from Hawaii to Japan under the command of Admiral Jacques Mahu.

They had been sent on a risky venture to raid Spanish and Portuguese settlements in Africa and Asia and to return with pepper and other spices from the Moluccas.

Admiral Jacques Mahu died on 23 September 1598 of sickness during the voyage and was replaced by Vice-admiral of the fleet Simon de Cordes, who was killed on the Mocha Island on 11 November 1599 by the locals.

Liefde, under command of Captain Jacob Quaeckernaeck, arrived in Usuki Bay, Kyushu, Japan on 19 April 1601 with 24 half-starved men (23 Dutch and one Englishman).

Seven of them were so weakened by the journey that they died later, leaving only 17 survivors of the original 100 member crew of the only ship that survived the expedition to Japan.
