Biography:
Addrian, a member of the Dutch Navy, achieved the rank of Schout-bij-Nacht (literally meaning Watch-at-Night) or Rear Admiral. In 1828 he was named "ridders van den Nederlandschen Leeuw" which means "knight of the Dutch Lion" for saving his ship and crew in a terrible storm.
Tradition says that Adriaan fought for Napoleon during his occupation (1795-1813). This has not been verified but would make sense since Adriaan was 22 at the time of the occupation. It is not likely that he would not enlist until he was 40 when the occupation ended.
From newspaper accounts we see that Adriaan was promoted to Captain Lieut. in 1814, a year after the Netherlands became independent. In 1822 his ship de Arend arrived in Rio de Janero.
His fame came in January of 1827 when he was captain of the 74 gun ship the Waterloo (launched in 1824). He and his crew of 250 were taking 670 troops to Java to quell an uprising. The similar ship Wassenaar was also making the trip. Shortly after leaving port the ships were hit by a terrible winter storm. The Waterloo lost all three masts and its rudder. Using their anchor, they were able to avoid being washed ashore. The Wassenaar was not so lucky. Their anchor line broke and the ship was smashed on the rocks. Most of those aboard were saved. The Waterloo was repaired in England and four months later left for Java with the troops.
In 1828 when the Waterloo returned, Adriaan was named ridders van den Nederlandschen Leeuw" which means "knight of the Dutch Lion" for saving the ship and those aboard. While this is not an military honor, it is the second highest honor that a military man can achieve.
Again from newspaper accounts we see that in 1832 he was captain of the 44 gun Algiers. Someone else was captain of the Waterloo. In 1838 he was promoted to Schout-bij-Nacht or Rear Admiral.
