Ned Loe Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 'Hollandia' Launched 1665 Dimensions: length 165 (Dutch) feet, with 41¾ feet, depth 15¼ feet en 82 guns. History: ordered by the admiralty of Amsterdam and build at Amsterdam’s admiralty dockyard as part of a 24-ship program since a new war with England was looming on the horizon. The ‘Hollandia’ was the Republics largest warship in 1665 and acted as flagship for the admirals de Ruyter, Tromp, van der Zaan, de Haan, Sweers en van Stirum. The ship took part in the following sea battles: - Four Days Battle - St. James's Day Battle - Raid on the Medway - First Battle of Schooneveld - Second Battle of Schooneveld - Battle of Texel After the Third Anglo-Dutch War ended the ship was laid up at Amsterdam until 1683. She then took part in the Voyage to Gothenburg but on the way back she found herself in a terrible storm which was so severe that she lost her beak head and bowsprit and finally her masts had to be cut. The stern began to come loose and slowly the ship began falling apart. Because they fired distress signals the entire crew was finally able to leave the ship safely. Moments later the only eighteen year old ship with her glorious career sank to the bottom of the sea near the coast of the north of the Republic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arvenski Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 She's old, alright, but strangely enough... I like her. And I don't normally say that about 17th Century ships. Accepted timeline aside, I wouldn't mind seeing her ingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryga Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 A beauty. Also still can't believe 17th century ships like this one are considered too old, if they are too old the constitution is too new. Damned double standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damned double standards. i can understand it from a development standpoint unless you wana keep adding ships forever but from a gameplay standpoint calling a ship like this to old is bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryga Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 If they say 1600-1830 hard limit though 1690-1790 preferred then tell me why they already added 4 post 1800 ships (excluding 2 of 1799) and non before 1700? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryga Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Ah they must have changed that then. Point still stands though, 4 ships beyond 1800, 0 pre 1700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlavDeng2 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Ah they must have changed that then. Point still stands though, 4 ships beyond 1800, 0 pre 1700. for now, we dont know all the ships they are working on, for all we know they have 20 ships planned that come between 1670 and 1700, or we get 0 or someplace inbetween.

SteelSandwich Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I sincerely doubt any renowned dutch ships making it into the game. I say that with the knowledge that the '7 provincien' 1665-1694 has been denied entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any really renowned Dutch ships from the second half of the 18th Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelSandwich Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 To add to my statement: Knowing the Dutch Amsterdam will not be build due to lack of plans (she was replaced with the chapman indiaman), and knowing that the current player selection thread has yielded no dutch ship, i am fairly sure not a single ship will be in this game for maybe another year (Maybe player selection 2017).

I'm still hoping that the wild card will be a Dutch ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
