He was mate on the whaler Groene Leeuw from 1633 to 1635. In 1636 he became captain of a privateer ship owned by the Lampsins brothers. Then he went to work for them as a merchantman. In 1641 and 1642 he served under Admiral Gijssels. With the rank of rear admiral, he was captain of the merchant vessel De Haze, which had been converted into a warship. In 1644 De Ruyter bought his own ship, the Salamander. He then sailed as an independent captain-merchant, mainly on the West Indies and Barbary (North Africa). He became admiral-in-chief of the Dutch fleet and his achievements with the Dutch Navy during the Anglo-Dutch Wars earned him the reputation as one of the most skilled naval commanders in history. He captured the English flag-ship Royal Charles at Chatham. De Ruyter was fatally wounded in a battle against the French fleet at Messina near Sicily in 1676. His body was buried in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam. - Except foxing as usual a fine copy.Cat. NHSM II, p.849. [Boeknr.: 29143 ]
