101. The First Anglo-Dutch War 1652-4
     This is the best quick reference to dates and ship numbers for the First angloDutch war battles. The battle descriptions are a good summary.

Links The first of three conflicts between the Commonwealth of England and the newly-independent United Provinces of the Netherlands. Friction had been increasing since the early 17th century as both nations competed in maritime trade and colonial expansion. However, the Council of State regarded the Protestant Dutch Republic as a natural ally of the English Commonwealth in its apocalyptic struggle against Monarchy and Popery. A diplomatic team headed by Oliver St John went to The Hague in October 1650 to negotiate an alliance. Dutch republicans were in favour, but supporters of the influential House of Orange vehemently opposed the alliance, expressing outrage at the execution of King Charles and refusing to recognise the Commonwealth. Furthermore, the Dutch signed a treaty with Denmark which had the effect of injuring English trade in the Baltic. With the failure of his diplomatic mission, St John drafted the provocative Navigation Act of 1651.

     Extractions: I tried to do a lot more digital painting on this portrait of Sir George Ayscue, and it probably isn't as successful as the De Ruyter portrait. I thought it fitting that De Ruyter's opponent at the Battle of Plymouth would be the next portrait that I attempted. This is done after Peter Lely's portrait of Ayscue. posted by Jim : 5:07 PM As an experiment, I tried doing as portrait of Michiel De Ruyter, after a well-known painting. My picture is a combination of pencil and graphic painting. I wanted to see what I might be able to quickly do. If I can come up with a reasonable approach, I want to do portraits, in a common style, of commanders during the Anglo-Dutch Wars. Portrait of Michiel De Ruyter after the painting by Ferdinand Bol. posted by Jim : 11:56 AM The dimensions that I just listed for the Gulden Dolphijn are those from the "Staet van Oorlogh te Water voor den Jaere 1654", but they considerably differ from those listed in the 26 February 1652 Admiralty of Rotterdam list. In that list, they are: 110ft x 25.5ft x 12.5ft (not 116ft x 25ft x 12ft). That converts to more reasonable dimensions in Amsterdam feet: 120ft x 27.75ft x 13.5ft (generously rounded).

103. The Anglo-Dutch Wars
     Onepage summary of the various naval wars between England and the Dutch.

     Extractions: The Anglo-Dutch Wars The Dutch had always depended upon sea trade to keep their economy stable. The Netherlands was a limited resource country whose strength lay in their dominance of the seas. The economy of the Netherlands depended on their maintaining this dominance and remaining the strongest sea force in Europe. England had a very strong navy and was a source of much competition for the Dutch. England wanted the sea routes for themselves. The Anglo-Dutch Wars were fought over the possession of the seas and trade routes. They were fought between 1652 and 1684. At the end of the four Anglo-Dutch Wars, England ended up with sea control, and the Dutch were completely defeated. The first Anglo-Dutch War lasted from 1652 until 1654. It was fought between the "Stadtholderless Dutch Republic" and "the Commonwealth of England." England gained control of the seas for the summer of 1653. This severely damaged Dutch business confidence and alarmed ship holders. The Dutch had always been very much in control of the waters, and were the center of trade for Europe. When it seemed as thought they were losing, their economy began to weaken as a result of Europe's sudden lack of business confidence. Luckily, for the Dutch and for Europe's businesses, the Stadtholderless Dutch Republic managed to retain control of the seas. The fourth and final Anglo-Dutch War took place from 1680 until 1684. This was the longest Anglo-Dutch War, and it continued until June 1st, 1784, when the English engaged a fleet of ships much larger than the Dutch one. The battle, which resulted, off Ostend, lasted four days. At the end of this battle, the Dutch over-seas trade was paralyzed, and their fleet completely destroyed. The Dutch lost 2,000 officers and men, which were killed and wounded. Finally, the English came out ahead and controlled the seas, ending all Anglo-Dutch wars.

     Extractions: This website is dedicated to naval wargaming covering the period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars, which took place during 1652-1674. I've constructed a separate page with historical references and resources , providing references to books that cover the history of the conflict, and the navies involved in it. Below, you can find more links to rules miniatures , and related pages . To see what is new (January 23, 2001) visit the ADW Log Geert-Jan Kruijff , gj AT acm DOT org The folllowing sets of rules have been specifically written for wargaming during the Anglo-Dutch Wars Iain Stanford 's General-at-Sea . These rules, written for the , are aimed at simulating the large-scale encounters fought in the second half of the 17th century, and thus are primarily intended for 1/2400th or 1/3000th models.
