Dutch Naval Officer: Nicolaes Marrevelt

Nicolaes Marrevelt served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. He commanded in the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665. In 1666, he fought in the Four Days Battle and the St. James's Day Battle. He also took part in the Raid on Chatham in 1667. He was appointed to extraordinary captain in 1653. In 1665, he became a temporary Schout-bij-Nacht. This is from my translation of the entry in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek. We know more about Nicolaes Marrevelt. In 1652, he commanded the 36-gun ship Zeelandia (built in 1643). In 1656, he commanded the 32-gun ship Maagd van Enkhuizen. In 1658, he commanded the small frigate Overijssel (28 guns). In 1665, he was in the Stavoren. In 1666 and 1667, he flew his flag on the larger Geloof. This is from my unpublished manuscript "Dutch Ships: 1620-1700" from 2004.
