This ship sailed out of the Texel harbor and was captured by Dunkirk pirates two days later. It would have been a perfect prize at that point, full stores, fresh crew, and not likely to have had any sea damage yet. In the 17th century, Dunkirk, a coastal fortress, became a hub for privateers, often called "Dunkirkers," who harassed shipping, disrupting trade and commerce. Behind each Dunkirker vessel was a group of investors who paid to equip the ship, and then benefited from the prizes taken. The Dunkirkers happily took prizes from Dutch, Spanish, English, and French ships.
Owner Charterer K. van Rensselaer and partners (Godyn, Blommaert, et al)
Notes Sailed from Texel with the Walvis but taken by Dunkirk pirates two days later
