You return from the sea as privateers, with a captured Spanish ship to your name. The whole city is buzzing about the catch. But when dividing the loot, the most precious piece is missing: a Spanish admiral’s golden signet ring. The city’s most powerful shipowner doesn’t believe in coincidences and gives you until the end of the day to return the ring. If you fail, the gallows await tomorrow. And as the clock ticks, Spanish sails appear on the horizon. Can you clear your name and prevent the city from going up in flames?

Shipowner Cornelis Lampsins had this grand building constructed in 1641. His fortune didn’t just come from trade: the Lampsins family constantly had twelve well-equipped warships at sea for privateering, carrying an official letter of marque from the States-General. Not piracy, but legal robbery with a permit.
The stone base of this tower dates back to the 14th century, but the best story takes place at the top. As a ten-year-old rascal, Michiel de Ruyter is said to have climbed the spire while it was in scaffolding. A fitting preview of the ascent he would later make, from rope-maker’s boy to admiral.
Where outdoor terraces now sit, a harbor full of fishing and merchant ships lay for centuries. It wasn’t until 1909 that it was filled in and the square was named after the local poet Jacobus Bellamy. The fountain honors Betje Wolff and Aagje Deken, authors of “Sara Burgerhart” (1782), often called the first Dutch novel.
