Short description

When the young republic of The Netherlands is attacked by England, France and Germany and faces its own civil war no less, only one man, Michael de Ruyter, can lead the county's strongest weapon, the Dutch fleet.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Real sailing ships were used in the film. The largest was the 57-meter "Batavia," an exact replica of a 17th-century Dutch trading ship, built in 1995 and now on display as a museum in Lelystad, Netherlands. Smaller was the 46-meter frigate Etoile du Roy, built in Turkey in 1997 for filming the series about Horatio Hornblower. Even smaller was the 35-meter Russian frigate "Shtandart," launched in St. Petersburg in 1999, a fully functional replica of Peter the Great's Baltic Fleet flagship. And the smallest was the 24-meter Dutch sloop "Utrecht," built in 2003.
