Abstract

During the first decades of the seventeenth century, the young Dutch Republic experienced a unprecedented economic boom. One trading company after another was established, while the usage of old familiar trade routes to the Baltic and the Mediterranean was intensified. Due to a number of demographic and economic incentives, Dutch started whaling expeiditions in 1612. The depolyment of Spanish and French Basque mariners turned out to be decisive for the success or failure of this whaling business. This article describes the deployment of Basques by the Dutch.
