Govert Zwolsman

Govert Zwolsman (1594-12 December 1640) was a Dutch naval captain from Sint Eustatius who sailed the Caribbean Sea during the mid-17th century. He captained the large fluyt Hengelo during its voyage from Sint Eustatius to Barbados in 1640, only for his ship to be attacked by the English pirate Ossian Trewhella off Antigua. Trewhella killed Zwolsman in a swordfight before capturing his ship's cargo.
