Dutch admiralties explained
The Dutch Republic had five admiralties:
- Admiralty of Amsterdam (1586–1795)
- Admiralty of Friesland (1596–1795)
- Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier (1589–1795)
- Admiralty of Rotterdam (1574–1795)
- Admiralty of Zeeland (1584–1795)
All five admiralties ended in 1795 with the end of the Dutch Republic due to the Batavian Revolution.
