Abstract (lang="eng")
It was a revolt against the king of Spain who was later also king of Portugal that created the Dutch Republic. Success at sea through the application of various aspects of nautical science, including shipbuilding and navigation, generated prosperity in the small state and ensured its survival. Dutch mariners and shipwrights owed a great debt to their Iberian counterparts. Even though the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were marked by decline in the peninsula features of knowledge, approaches and practices in nautical science borrowed from Spain and, even more, Portugal formed a basis for the prosperity in the United Netherlands.
Abstract (lang="por")
A república Holandesa é fruto de uma revolta contra o rei de Espanha que, mais tarde, foi também rei de Portugal. Os diversos êxitos alcançados por mar através da aplicação de vários aspectos da ciência náutica, v.g. construção naval e navegação, deram lugar à sua prosperidade e asseguraram a sua sobrevivência. Os marinheiros e os construtores de navios Holandeses estavam, assim, em dívida com os seus parceiros Ibéricos. Apesar de ser conhecido que, entre os séculos XVI e XVII os avanços no conhecimento científico na Península Ibérica não acompanharam o ritmo que antes alcançaram, é certo que as bases da ciência náutica holandesa – ponto de partida para o progresso dos Países Baixos - têm as suas raízes em Espanha e, sobretudo em Portugal.
