The ''Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes de Vries'' was a Dutch 68-gun third rate ship of the line of the navy of the Dutch Republic, the Batavian Republic, and the Royal Navy. The order to construct the ship was given by the Admiralty of Friesland.〔J.F. Fischer Fzn. ''De Delft: De dagjournalen met de complete en authentieke geschiedenis van 's Lands schip van oorlog Delft en de waarheid over de zeeslag bij Camperduin'' (Franeker: Van Wijnen, 1997), 136.〕 In 1783 the ''Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes de Vries'' sailed to the Mediterranean Sea under Captain Van der Beets. When she returned in the Dutch Republic she was laid up in ordinary until 1795.〔Thea Roodhuyzen, ''De Amdiraliteit van Friesland'' (Franeker: Van Wijnen, 2003), 38.〕 In 1795, the ship was commissioned in the Batavian Navy. On 11 October 1797 the ''Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes de Vries'' took part in the Battle of Camperdown under Captain J.B. Zeegers. The ship was captured by the British.〔J.F. Fischer Fzn. ''De Delft: De dagjournalen met de complete en authentieke geschiedenis van 's Lands schip van oorlog Delft en de waarheid over de zeeslag bij Camperduin'' (Franeker: Van Wijnen, 1997), 394.〕 The ship was renamed ''Admiral DeVries'', and in 1799 she served as a transport ship. In that year she sailed to the West Indies. She sprang a leak off San Domingo and was determined to be unfit for sea. She served as a prison hulk in Port Royal until she was sold in 1806.〔http://www.ageofnelson.org/MichaelPhillips/info.php?ref=0037〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HMS Admiral Devries HMS Admiral Mitchell )〕 Image: DeVries2.png| The Battle of Camperdown by Martinus Schouman. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dutch ship Admiraal Tjerk Hiddes De Vries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
