The ''Prins Willem'' ((:prɪns ˈʋɪləm)), also spelled ''Prins Willim'', was a 17th-century East Indiaman of the Dutch East India Company. It was their largest ship at the time. The ship made its first voyage to the Dutch East Indies in 1651. After several voyages, it sank near Madagascar in 1662. A replica of the ''Prins Willem'' was built in 1985, but it was destroyed by fire in 2009.〔 (Prins Willem, 1650 ), ''De VOCsite''. Retrieved 6 August 2015.〕 ==History== The ship ''Prins Willim'' was built in 1650 in Middelburg in the Dutch Republic.〔 Curiously, the name on the ship was ''Prins Willim''. Two possible reasons have been advanced: the ship's name is Middle Dutch or the lack of space for the name caused the "e" to be changed to a shorter "i". The ship was the flagship of Witte de With in the Battle of the Kentish Knock during the First Anglo-Dutch War. The ship sank near Madagaskar in 1662.〔 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「Prins Willem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
