Piet Hein The Dutch Privateer Hero and Real Captain Silver

In quick succession Piet Hein had been captured by the Spanish, made to serve as a galley slave for four years, and then returned in exchange for Spanish prisoners.

Over the next few years he was a successful privateer, attacking and capturing many ships of the Spanish and Portuguese fleets before being taken once again by the Spanish, this time near Cuba, and held for another four years.

The irrepressible privateer bounced back again and had many major successes. Then in 1628, the Dutch despatched another three large privateer fleets to press home the advantage and hit the Spanish even harder. The smaller Dutch ships had the advantage of speed and manoeuvrability over the heavier Spanish galleons, whose routes were familiar to all the privateers. After several battles of varying success, most of the Dutch fleet headed home. The Spanish captains in turn, assuming they were now relatively safe, also decided to set sail, their ships’ bellies full of Mexican silver.

Piet Hein was waiting for them. He had augmented his original small fleet with others from Cuba, and with a force of 31 well-armed ships bore down on the unsuspecting Spaniards. Having cut off their exit to the east and barred their way to safe haven in Havana, he pursued them into a bay and there accepted their surrender, along with 12 million guilders’ worth of silver and other fine cargo. Not one shot had been fired. On his return he received a rapturous reception and was an immediate hero.

His victory had been the greatest ever achieved by the Dutch in the Caribbean, and one of only a very few defeats in the entire history of the famed Spanish ships of the Silver Fleet.

Did you know?…
Keelhauling was a brutal punishment devised by the Dutch, but soon became widespread. It involved the fixing of a rope at one end of the ship, passing it beneath the keel, bringing it up at the other end and tying it to the man to be punished, who would be naked and bound. He was then dragged underwater along the bottom of the ship, to be torn by sharp barnacles and nearly – sometimes actually – drowned.

The Helmet Of Horror $7.79 Victor Pelevin, the iconoclastic and wildly interesting contemporary Russian novelist who The New Yorker named one of the Best European Writers Under 35, upends any conventional notions of what mythology must be with his unique take on the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. By creating a mesmerizing world where the surreal and the hyperreal collide, The Helmet of Horror is a radical retelling of the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur set in an Internet chat room. They have never met, they have been assigned strange pseudonyms, they inhabit identical rooms that open out onto very different landscapes, and they have entered a dialogue they cannot escape–a discourse defined and destroyed by the Helmet of Horror. Its wearer is the dominant force they call Asterisk, a force for good and ill in which the Minotaur is forever present and Theseus is the great unknown. The Helmet of Horror is structured according to the way we communicate in the twenty-first century–using the Internet–yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology. It is a labyrinthine examination of epistemological uncertainty that radically reinvents this myth for an age where information is abundant but knowledge ultimately unattainable.
