About the Zeven Provincien

The Zeven Provincien is named after the seven provinces that made up the Dutch Republic in the 17th century. The ship was built in 1665-1665 by the master ship builder, Salomon Jansz van den Tempel. It  first served as the flagship during the Anglo-Dutch War under the command of Admiral Michiel De Ruyter, contributing to the four-day fight and the St. James Day battle. The vessel made it through the war with minor damage to its mast. In 1672-1673 the Zeven Provincien once again set out for battle during the Third Anglo-Dutch War. Finally in 1692, the ship fought during the Battle of Barfluer during the War of the Grand Alliance. At this point, she was severely damaged and had to be scrapped shortly after.

In term of her construction, the Zeven Provincien is 151 ft (46 m) long and 40 ft (over 12 m) wide. The vessel could carry a crew of around 420, and was heavily armed for battle. A replica of the ship was constructed in Batavia, and still exists today.
