Captain Holland

Willem Van Wateren

Captain Holland's History

Willem, born in 1618, was the youngest of four children of Herman van Wateren and Anita de Dijk.

At around 9 years old he went swimming with his family, at what was then known as the Diemermeer (Diemer Lake).

Slighty affraid of the water, he only went knee-deep at first. After a while he decided to go further into the lake. Suddenly he felt a sharp sting and he was pulled under.
