Dutch Admiral: Jacob Pieterszoon Tolck
Jacob Pieterszoon Tolck served in the West-Indian Company from 1636 to 1639. He was a commander in the expedition to Portugal and fought in the Battle of Cape St. Vincent in 1641. He served under Vice-Admiral van Lier. In 1641, Jacob Pieterszoon Tolck was a temporary Vice-Admiral. This is from my translation of the short entry in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek.
