More about Lambert Pieterszoon
I had written about the Dutch captain Lambert Pieterszoon on May 15, 2004. Mr. Carl Stapel pointed out to me that in Brandt's biography of De Ruyter, on page 70, that Lambert Pieterszoon was one of five captains sent to the Mediterranean "to set order in the Mediteranaen after C Tromp and captain Rodehaes made a mess out of it". He apparently spent the rest of his life in the Mediterranean. He died on September 3rd, 1654 and was buried on Minorca on September 9th. Thank you again to Mr. Stapel for the information.
