| History | HrMS Pieter Florisz (Lt. Gabriël Eliza Agathes Daane Bolier) was scuttled by her own crew at Enkhuizen to prevent her capture by the advancing German forces. Repaired and commissioned into the Kriegsmarine as M-551. She was returned to Holland in 1945 and repaired. She served as a fishing inspection vessel and then as a patrol vessel and boom defence vessel before being stricken in 1961. She was transferred to the Zeekadetkorps Nederland in IJmuiden in 1962. Decommissioned in September 1976 and sold for scrap. As of 2004 she is still not scrapped and is grounded at Stolk shipbreakers, Slikkerveer, Holland. Finally scrapped after salvage fails in January 2006. More on this ship see this website (offsite link). |
