Catalogue Note
Maarten Tromp (1598-1653) est un amiral hollandais, appelé dans son pays le "héros des mers". Il défit une importante flotte espagnole, mettant fin à l'hégémonie maritime de ce pays. Plusieurs vaisseaux hollandais portèrent son nom. Il fut tué à la bataille de Schveningen le 10 août 1653 après avoir mis en déroute la flotte anglaise.
