  Hellevoetsluis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hellevoetsluis (population: 40,164 in 2004) is a town in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland.
During the time of the United Provinces Hellevoetsluis was the naval port of the Admiralty of the Maas (Rotterdam) and could accommodate an entire fleet within a special land-enclosed fortress with harbour and dockyard facilities, accessible through a canal.
Thanks to its strategic situation Hellevoetsluis grew from the beginning of the 17th century to be the homeport for the Dutch war fleet.

The passage from Rotterdam to Hellevoetsluis was our final sea passage (I intend to return to Rotterdam by inland waterways next Monday) although our quick overnight jaunt out into the North Sea could hardly be termed a voyage.
We were not expected in Hellevoetsluis until 1600, so I was able to go alongside a spare berth near the locks and all hands turned in for a few hours to catch up on some sleep ú overnight passages like that invariably mean broken sleep for everyone.
Hellevoetsluis is another interesting historic harbour, with a long naval history.
