The "FRIESLAND" was a second rank vessel with 80 guns built around 1663,
part of the great fleet of the United Provinces of Holland, consisting of
1700 units. In 1672, flanked by 77 vessels under the command of De Ruyter's
who was aboard the admiral-ship "Zeven Provincien", it took part in the battle
of Solebay with the allied Anglo-French forces.
This reconstruction has been
carried out on the grounds of a reliable Dutch documentation. The model distinguishes
itself for the particular refinement of the poop decorations and for the superstructures
of the decks.
