Klein Hollandia (1656 - 24 March 1672) was a Dutch warship owned by the Admiralty of Rotterdam, the military body helping governing the Dutch navy. The ship was involved in multiple key naval battles: the Battle of the Sound off Copenhagen in the Second Northern War on 29 October 1658 and all major naval battles of the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The ship was involved in the Action of 12 March 1672 against the English fleet. On the second day, on 24 March 1672 the ship was wrecked and sank. Captain Jan Van Nes and fifty other people died.[1][2]
