Looking for a Dutch pirate for a conversion

[Ducky]

Hi shipmates,

Inspired by the other pirate conversion in the chippy shop I want to make my own.
I searched the internet for famous Dutch pirates, and found several.

The problem is I cant find names of the ships they sailed.

I want to convert a 32 gun ship or a 74 gun shipif possible...

Does someone know about a site where I can find Dutch piraten with their ships?

Thanx for the help

Cheers,

Thijs

You might want to start here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pirates

Looking through the Golden Age of Piracy section I found this person listed as being from the Netherlands: Dirk Chivers. His ship was the Soldado. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirk_Chivers Another ship taken later was the New Soldado or Soldado 2.

Cheers!

Thanx Jim that would be an option. But was wondering If there is a Dutch pirate in the late 1700's so he can be used with the ships brought out by Ares so far. Seems most of the wellknown pirates are from the mid 1600's...

Will have to do so more research on pirates I think...

Cheers,

Thijs

The Golden Age of Piracy has generally been marked as ending in 1730 so I wouldn't think any of the current Ares ships are going to work for that. The activity of the Barbary Pirates went much later, early into the 19th Century in fact. You'll find a nice 'summary' here with lots of references if you want to dig deeper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Piracy

I was just thinking about Pieter Heyn the famous Dutch privateer who is now buried in the Old Church in Delft (where I lived for several years)... but he lived well before 1700...
