Dutch Naval Officer: Jan Janszoon Dick

Jan Janszoon Dick served the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier. He was born in Hoorn. He was killed in the Battle of Beachy Head, on 10 July 1690. He commanded in the Schooneveld battles and the Battle of the Texel in 1673. He was with the fleet that carried Willem III to England in 1688. He was killed in the Battle of Beach Head. He had originally just been a sailor. In 1671, he was promoted to captain. On 6 October 1673, he was promoted to Schout-bij-Nacht. This is from my translation of Luc Eekhout's piece in Het Admiralenboek. We also know that he commanded the Caleb (48 guns) in 1671. In May 1672, he commanded the Jozua (54 guns), which was sunk at the Battle of Solebay. In July 1672, he commanded the Noorderkwartier (60 guns). During 1673, he commanded the Eenhoorn (70 guns). For the operation in 1688, he commanded the Noorderkwartier (64 guns). This is from my unpublished manuscript "Dutch Ships 1620-1700" from 2004.
