History
It was set up on 6 March 1589 by a resolution of the States General of the Netherlands on instigation of Stadholder Maurits of Orange. It had its headquarters at Hoorn. After 1597 each three months the headquarters alternated with Enkhuizen, the other main port of the region. The province of Holland had a Northern Quarter and a Southern Quarter. The admiralty was disestablished in 1795.
