Dutch Captain: Arnold Manart

Arnold Manart served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. In early 1686, he convoyed merchant ships to Spain. He and Willem van Ewyck, both with ships of 40 guns, were attacked by a French squadron. In 1688, he commanded the Schattershof (46 guns) in the fleet that took Willem III to England. In 1696, he took part in the third bombardment of Calais. Later in 1696, he was with the Dutch fleet in the Sound. Sources:
