| dc.description | In the first place I would like to thank my promoter Dr. Jan Parmentier for the opportunity to write about an interesting thesis topic. After all, I could go to him with all my scientific problems. In addition, I would like to thank him for organizing the trip to the Zeeuws Archief in the second candidacy history. Without the guided tour of the 'maritime history' module, I would never have come into contact with the possibilities of this archive. In relation to the archive, I am indebted to Albert C. Meijer, who explained the quality and quantity of the Zeeland Court of Audit during the discussion. The accounts are such an interesting source that several studies are possible. My interest immediately went to the settlement of the accounts of the Admiralty, the institution responsible for the war fleet. Without the thorough lectures of Prof. dr. Vermeir about the institutions of the Netherlands I could never have formulated different insights. But I also greatly appreciated the help of the staff of the Zeeuws Archief, who provided an exceptional service. Moreover, they always assisted me with advice and assistance for all kinds of practical problems. Before framing my subject further, I would like to explain my motivation for opting for maritime research in Zeeland. At first it gave me the opportunity to combine my interest in early modern state politics with my love for the history of ships. The choice for a Zeeland subject was therefore an obvious one. The many family trips to Sluis have also contributed to this, as the many cycling trips in the region are one of the best attractions. As a result, I did not hesitate for a moment to contribute to Zeeland historiography. Still, the Zeeland traditions are quite far from me, but this does not exclude that as a researcher you can look at them with some 'distance' (objectivity). My fellow students Tom De Spiegelaere and Benoit Strubbe deserve a word of thanks because they decided to carpool the journey from Bruges to Middelburg. This allowed us to discuss our research results in the car and we remained motivated to work through mutual encouragement and critical comments. In addition, I would like to thank my parents, grandparents for their continued encouragement that they gave when I was having a harder time. Hopefully you are proud of the past academic years. Finally, I would like to thank my neighbor Dweezil, best friend Simon and sweetheart Marlies for their unconditional friendship and support. The following work has been made possible thanks to all of you. Original digital object: https://lib.ugent.be/nl/catalog/rug01:001252631 | en_US |
