... service history wanted.

Pieter Florisz (ca. 1602/1606 - 8 November 1658)

Pieter Floriszoon (or Florisz, Florisse) was born around 1600 in Monnickendam and lived there until 1654. His father was Floris Florisz Houtcooper, a timber merchant, who also worked as a ship carpenter and started his own shipyard. His youngest brother Floris wore the name Blom or Bloem. It is not known with certainty whether Pieter also called himself or was named so. Little is known about the first forty years of his life. What is known is that he married three times and had four children who all died young. There are some brief indications that he worked for an Amsterdam shipping company that operated in the West Indies. There is more information about the last eighteen years of his life, in which he has participated in various actions and major naval battles on ships of the Dutch war fleet (as captain, bailiff at night, and Vice admiral of the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier).

He died on 8 November 1658 during the Battle of the Sound.
