Isaac Rochussen
Isaac Rochussen or Isaac Rockesen (1631–1710) was a 17th-century Dutch corsair and privateer during the Second and Third Anglo-Dutch War. His capture of the ''The Falcon'', a merchantman belonging to the East India Company, was one of the most valued ships captured during the late 17th century.
==Biography==
Isaac Rochussen was born in the city of Vlissingen, although little of his life is recorded. An active corsair during the Second and Third Anglo-Dutch War, he captured the English East India merchantman ''The Falcon'' near the Isles of Scilly on July 7, 1672.〔Bruijn, J.N. "Dutch Privateering during the Second and Third Anglo-Dutch Wars". ''The Low Countries History Yearbook, XII'' (1978): 91.〕 The prize was sold at as 350,000 gilders, the highest paid for the time when an average ship and cargo went for only a few thousand or, at best, tens of thousands of gilders. The Falcon was thereafter referred to by the Dutch as ''De Gouden Valk'' (or The Golden Falcon). Rochussen himself received a gold medal from the ships´ owner for this capture. He later became a successful privateer in his later years, a trade followed by his son Isaac Rochussen, Jr., before his death in 1710.
