After 1621, the fortified town of Hellevoetsluis grew into the most important war port in Holland. Michiel de Ruyter regularly visited Hellevoetsluis for inspections. In 1629, Piet Hein brought the Silver Fleet (captured from the Spaniards) to Amsterdam via the roadstead of Hellevoetsluis. In the more than 400 years old fortress harbor you can still find many traces of the historical events.
