ADMIRALTY
OF FRIESLAND - DUTCH - 1663
The "FRIESLAND" was a second rank vessel with 80
guns built around 1663, part of the great fleet of the United
Provinces of Holland, consisting of 1700 units. In 1672, flanked
by 77 vessels under the command of De Ruyter's who was aboard
the admiral-ship "Zeven Provincien", it took part
in the battle of Solebay with the allied Anglo-French forces.
This reconstruction has been carried out on the grounds of
a reliable Dutch documentation. The model distinguishes itself
for the particular refinement of the poop decorations and
for the superstructures of the decks.
