	Jacob van Heemskerk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Willem Barents accompanied Heemskerck as pilot, and Gerrit de Veer, the historian of the voyage, was on board as mate.
		This was the first time that an arctic winter was successfully faced; The voyage stands in the first rank among the polar enterprises of the 16th century, and led to a flourishing whale and seal fisheries which long enriched the Netherlands.
		Van Heemskerck later served as a vice admiral, protecting Dutch merchant shipping on voyages to China and the East Indies, and died as a result of leg wounds caused by cannonball, shortly after the Battle of Gibralter, an engagement in which a Spanish fleet of 21 vessels was entirely destroyed.

	TABLE OF CONTENTS
		Johan van Oldenbarneveldt was born at Amersfoort in 1547.
		Heemskerk at once gave the order to attack, and directed that each of the great galleons should be assailed by two Dutch ships, one at each side.
		But Heemskerk's death was concealed, and his comrades carried out his instructions, and fought with desperate resolution-in his own ship to avenge his loss, in the others as if the eye of their chief had been still upon them.

	Welcome to realtorontosolutions.ca
		A certain Jan Huyghen van Linschoten, who had been in the Portuguese service, had published in 1595 a book containing a description from personal knowledge of the route to the East and the character of the Portuguese commerce.
		Van der Hagen took possession of Molucca and built factories at Amboina, Tidor and other places in the spice-bearing islands.
		Both Heemskerk and the Spanish commander, d'Avila, were killed early in the fight, the result of which however was not long doubtful.

	A Short History of Australia - The Dawn of Discovery
		So Van Diemen directed that, if gold and silver were found, and the natives did not understand the value of them, they were to be kept ignorant.
		To the sea between Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand the discoverer gave the name of Abel Tasman's Passage, in the erroneous belief that New Zealand was part of the Great Southern Continent - the mysterious Terra Australis Incognita - and that this stretch of ocean was simply a strait between it and New Holland.
		Van Diemen would perhaps have been very angry - certainly he would have been sorry - if he had read the letter which came from the managers shortly after they received the news of Tasman's voyage of 1644; but he was dead before it reached Java, and was spared the knowledge of this official censure.

		Van Diemen placed two ships under his command, the HEEMSKERK and the ZEEHAEN, and sent with him as pilot Franz Visscher, an experienced officer, who drew up the plan of the voyage.

	History of Holland - Chapter VI: The Beginnings of the Dutch Republic (by George Edmundson)
		The curious, amorphous, hydra-headed system of government, which was to subsist for some two centuries, was in its origin the direct result of the confused welter of conflicting forces, which was the legacy of Leicester’s rule.
		Those three personalities were John van Oldenbarneveldt, Maurice of Nassau and his cousin William Lewis of Nassau, the Stadholder of Friesland.
		Born in 1547, Oldenbarneveldt, after studying Jurisprudence at Louvain, Bourges and Heidelberg, became a devoted adherent of William the Silent and took part in the defence of Haarlem and of Leyden.

	AMBON a short history of the VOC period
		In 1600 the “Compagnie van Verre’ ordered Steven van der Haghen to stay in Ambon, together with a garrison of 27 men.
		Together with the Hitunese Stephan van der Haghen built the “Kasteel van Verre” on a high rock, the first Dutch establishment in the East Indies.
		The Dutch, now in name of the VOC which was established in 1602, returned on February 22, 1605 and the next day captain Stefan van der Haghen captured the "Nuestra Senhora da Anunceida" fort with only a show of force.

		And though its nautical use was already mentioned in 1187 by the English monk Alexander Neckham, the use onboard only came about around the 13th and 14th century in the Mediterranean Sea.
		This masterpiece was first translated in Dutch (1580) and was -O Irony- used by Jacob van Heemskerk when the Dutch destroyed the Spanish fleet near Gibraltar in 1607.
		The drawback was of course Van Heemskerk's own death during this victory.

		The chief event on which Grotius was asked to justify the Company’s position was the seizure by one of the Company’s admirals, Jacob van Heemskerk, of the Portuguese ship ‘Catharina’ in the straits of Malacca.
		The book was not published until the 19th century, however, though a single chapter of the book was distributed as the essay Mare Liberum, on the freedom of the seas.
		In Dutch, he produced Bewys van den Waren Godtsdienst, a Proof of the True Religion designed primarily as a handbook for Dutch seafarers travelling in non-Christian countries.

	WHAT
		The Krivak class frigates will shortly be commissioned and the projected induction of 'Admiral Gorshkov' along with Type 971M Akula II class nuclear powered submarines and Tupolev-22M3 'Backfire' reconnaissance bombers will propel the Indian Navy to become a major power in and around the Indian Ocean.
		It is good to note the presence of an area air defence SAM (Surface to Air Missile) system on the Krivaks and the projected 'Project 17' frigates, a tradition commenced by the Dutch 'Jacob Van Heemskerk' class and French 'Cassard' class destroyer/frigates.
		If this year's naval budget is some indication of "financial years to follow" it appears that the 'Cinderella' of Indian Armed Forces may at last get its due recognition.

		That Van Diemen's Land was isolated was not known.
		Bass's whaleboat voyage showed the old belief that Van Diemen's Land was a southern extension of New Holland to be improbable.
		The strait was proved, and Van Diemen's Land was circumnavigated, by Bass and Flinders together in the NORFOLK in 1798.

	The Dutch in Australia
		Several surviving Dutch vessels, particularly submarines, which were based at Fremantle, operated from Australian bases in association with the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for the remainder of the war.
		It was to be these submarines and other small craft, such as the minesweeper Abraham Crijnssen, that would be most in evidence in Australian waters, although the cruisers Tromp and Jacob Van Heemskerk and the destroyers Tjerk Hiddes and Van Galen also operated with RAN units at various times.
		The KNIL troops in Australia were never sufficient to constitute a fighting force of any great size, but their skills were used in a number of ways.

		A third Dutch fleet sailed in 1596 under William Barents and Capt. Jacob van Heemskerck, to be trapped in ice.

		The first Dutch ship, under the command of Admiral Jacob van Heemskerk, arrived in the archipelago in 1602 or 1603 and van Heemskerk mentions in his reports the difficulties he had dealing with the Bandanese.
		The weights were tampered with, the quality of the nutmegs and mace was below standard and nobody kept to the terms of the contracts he made with the dealers.
		In 1605 Wolfert Harmenszoon en Steven van der Hagen managed to make more permanent contracts with the Bandanese which practically covered all the islands of the archipelago.
