Posts on crew members:
Auke Visser in 1688
Assistant steward Auke Visser was 55 when he signed on the frigate Huis te Warmelo. With a fourth wife and five sons, this sefarer from the Dutch town of Medemblik already had quite a life behind him and must have been at sea for most of his life.. He was a member of the Medemblik…
Cornelis Jacobsz from Enkhuizen
Cornelis Jacobsz from the Dutch town of Enkhuizen was second gunner on the frigate Huis te Warmelo. Together with the first gunner and the gunner´s mates, he supervised the cannons and ammunition, including the gunpowder in stock, an important task on a war ship.
Cornelis Jacobsz is a poor starting point for finding this crew…
Jacob Gijsen from Togtenbrugh
When signing on to the frigate Huis te Warmelo, sailor Jacob Gijsen gave an unusual place of origin. He came from Togtenbrugh. This geographical name did not ring a bell with me. A corruption of a foreign town or region is obvious. In that case, Toggenburg in Switzerland is a suitable candidate. Thus, I classified…
Weijert Groen and De Boer family
There are descendants of several crew members of the frigate Huis te Warmelo. One of them is 78-year-old Frank de Boer from the Dutch village of Koog aan de Zaan. He is a descendant of Weijert Jacobsz Groen, who served on the warship as provost. Frank had already mapped out the relationship with this distant…
In memoriam Frans Visser
Frans Visser died at the age of 89 after a short illness. He was a descendant of Dirk Thomasz Meerder, one of the chief officers of the frigate Huis te Warmelo. Through his grandson Matthijs, who has published a family tree on the Internet, I came into contact with Frans. To my surprise, he turned…
An orphan from Friesland
Wobbe Benedictus was one of the 41 Frisian sailors on board the frigate Huis te Warmelo. In the payment register, he is recorded as coming from the town of Franeker. The name of this crew member is not very common. Searching the Internet led to records of a boy named Wobbe Benedictus in the…
Overview article 2016-2021
On 26th June last, the 88th Yearbook of the West Frisian Historical Society was presented. This Yearbook contains an extensive article about the frigate Huis te Warmelo. The article starts with an unknown shipwreck on the bottom of the Gulf of Finland. Five years ago, the find and its identification were announced. Look here for…
Tijs Blom from Alkmaar
Blom is a common family name in the Netherlands. The name has the same meaning as bloem (flower). Two crew members of the frigate Huis te Warmelo bore this surname: third carpenter Tijs Cornelisz Blom and sailor Jan Blom. Both men came from Alkmaar. No clear trace of Jan Blom has been found in the…
Pieter Jorisz Groenebroek
Pieter Groenebroek was second lieutenant on the frigate Huis te Warmelo. He came from Medemblik. His name recently surfaced in a deed from an Amsterdam notary. The notarial deed shows that he was already sailing in the Baltic Sea area in 1689. That is more than 25 years before his journey with the Huis te…
A ship’s boy from Alkmaar
The ship’s boys on the Huis te Warmelo were at the very bottom of the ranks. They were young and employed on the warship for all possible jobs. One of them, Cobus Jacobsz van Assouw, came from Alkmaar. Van Assouw was an uncommon surname in this Dutch town. This helps in the search for the…
The skipper’s house
On the Vooreiland in Medemblik, there are three houses with a stepped gable in a row. They were built in the seventeenth century and form a unity. Through archival research, their genesis and ownership history has been traced. One of the houses was owned by Claas Heddesz. He was the first skipper of the frigate…
Cook Gerrit Hendriksz Kes
Gerrit Hendriksz Kes served as a ship’s cook at the Huis te Warmelo. His place on the ship was the galley, the common name for a ship’s kitchen. There he prepared food for the crew. Two mates helped him with this task. Another cook, the cabin cook, served the captain and the other officers. When…
