Dutch Naval Officer: Pieter de Moor

Pieter de Moor served the Admiralty of Zeeland. He fought in the First Schooneveld Battle, where he was assigned to De Ruyter's squadron. He commanded the Advijs jacht Tonijn (6 guns). He was still with De Ruyter on 12 June and probably fought in the Second Schooneveld Battle, as well. In August, he fought in the Battle of the Texel, where he was in Aert van Nes's division in De Ruyter's squadron. Sources:
