Schout-bij-nacht Johan Arnold Zoutman (10 May 1724 – 7 May 1793) was a Dutch States Navy officer, politician and surveyor who served during the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War. He is best known for his involvement at the 1781 Battle of Dogger Bank, where a Dutch fleet under Zoutman's command fought the British Royal Navy to a standstill.
In 1798, Fort Zoutman was built in his name at Oranjestad and is the oldest Dutch structure on the island of Aruba.[1] The Willem III Tower was built at the west entrance of the fort in 1868 and has functioned as a clock tower, lighthouse and a station for the Aruba Police Force.[2] The fort now houses the Aruba Historical Museum.[3]
