Dutch Captain: Barend Hiddes de Vries

Barend Hiddes de Vries served the Admiralty of Friesland. At the Battle of Lowestoft, he commanded the Postiljon van Smryna (40 guns) in Auke Stellingwerf's Fourth Squadron. At the Four Days Battle, he commanded the Elf Steden (54 guns) in Tjerk Hiddes de Vries' squadron. At the St. James Day Battle, Barend Hiddes de Vries commanded the Elf Steden in the same squadron. In June 1667, his ship, still the Elf Steden, was lying with the Friesland squadron in the Konings Diep. This is the last instance where Barend Hiddes de Vries is mentioned, in Brandt's biography of De Ruyter (that I can find).
