The Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier (Dutch - Northern Quarter), also known as the Admiralty of West Friesland, was one of the five admiralties of the Dutch Republic, made up of West Friesland and part of northern Holland.

[edit] History

It was set up on 6 March 1589 by a resolution of the Parliament of the Netherlands, via a decision of the Stadholder Maurits of Orange. It was established at Hoorn (and in Enkhuizen for about 3 months in 1597). The admiralty was disestablished in 1795.
