Dutch naval officer: Daniël Elsevier

Daniël Elsevier lived from about 1640 until 26 February 1688. He commanded in the Four Days Battle, the Battle of Solebay in 1672, the two Schooneveld battles and the Battle of the Texel in 1673, and at Bornholm and Oland in 1676. He served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. He was appointed a lieutenant in 1665. In 1672, he was promoted to captain. In 1683, he was a Schout-bij-Nacht. Finally, in 1686, he was appointed as a Vice-Admiral. This is from my translation of the piece in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek. We also know that he commanded the Stavoren (46 guns) in 1672 and the Zeelandia (44 guns) in 1673.
