Great (and feared) Dutch admiral. The statue is located on the Boulevard of Vlissingen/Flushing and from there you have a beautiful view on the city and the harbor. Nice place for a moment of rest.

You need to know the story about this sea hero, otherwise its "just" a statue. But he was for Vlissingen very important and they are proud of him.
