The admiraliteitskantoor in the Prinsenhof at Hoorn in 1606 (Westfries Museum)

The Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier (Dutch, 'Northern Quarter'), also known as the Admiralty of West Friesland, was one of the five admiralties of the Dutch Republic, based at West Friesland, a region in the north of the province of Holland.[1]

## History

[edit]

It was set up on 6 March 1589 by a resolution of the States General of the Netherlands on instigation of Stadholder Maurits of Orange. It had its headquarters at Hoorn. After 1597 each three months the headquarters alternated with Enkhuizen, the other main port of the region. The province of Holland had a Northern Quarter and a Southern Quarter.
