Hendrik Aldertszoon Vlieland

Hendrik Aldertszoon Vlieland was born 28-01-1748 Noordwijk Holland.
He is the son of Aldert Vlieland and Maartje Langeveld.
Married to Marijtje Arrishoek. and they had two children Aldert named after his father and Cornelis after her father .

To avoid the wars between French and England he was a burgher of Prussia and subject of the count of Knipshausen.
He was in 1797 with his ship "de jonge Elisabeth "on a journey from Rotterdam to Havre de Grace when he was captured by the a Kingsship "the Harpy" Master Henry Bazely, esquire.
He was brought to the ship and because of the big waves, lost sight of his ship.
he was landed in Dover and went straight to Phineas Kennets to report what had happened.
Later he learned that parts of his ship where beached in Noordwijk and the parts were recognised by him as well as by Maarten Kruijt mayor of Noordwijk and by Jan de Booy blacksmith.
The crew however was lost and never heard of since .His son Aldert(18)among them.
The wifes and mothers of the lost crewmembers made a declaration in Noordwijk about the loss of the "jonge Elisabeth"
