List of Dutch naval heroes
This is a TOP-40 List of Dutch naval heroes from the 17th century. During the 17th century the strength of the Dutch Navy made the (Dutch) United Provinces a major maritime power. Many battles were fought with the Spanish, Portuguese, British, Swedish and French, and these naval battles generated a large number of naval heroes, especially as the presence of no less than five Dutch admiralties ensured that many flag officers took part. Hero worship was exuberant in the trade-dependent Dutch Republic, and the victors were honoured in all possible ways. At the time it was possible for a man of humble origins to attain high command. The populace readily identified with popular admirals, like the acclaim for sportstars of our day.
