Dutch Captain: Cornelis Bakker

Cornelis Bakker served the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier. He commanded the Pacificatie from June 7, 1673. He fought in the Battle of the Texel in August, where he was assigned to Jan de Haan's division. He operated with captains Jan Corneliszoon Poort and Pieter Klaaszoon Dekker. Unfortunately, he is not mentioned in the other sources that are available to me. Sources:
