It sank on August 10, 1628, the day it was launched. Coming out of the port, it was tipped by the wind and the water poured in through the open nozzle holes, which were barely 1 meter above sea level, and then tipped to the other side as well. The high superstructure, the weight of the cannons, and the baroque decoration were enough to capsize and sink the ship.
The cause of the misfortune is to be found in the bad construction of the ship. It was too narrow, its side walls were almost vertical, and the lability was obviously not compensated with adequate ballast. After 350 years, it was highlighted, restored and kept in a museum. It had 64 guns on three decks.
It represented the pinnacle of the galleon ship type. Its masts were 40 m above the deck, 1,200 m2 of sail stretched on it, max. its speed would have been 10 knots. Holland developed this type to the most perfect.
