Lampsins

The Lampsins family is remembered for its trading house in Vlissingen, for employing the young Michiel de Ruyter, and for (temporarily) owning the island of Tobago in the Caribbean. Several members were active in private trade and in the administration of the WIC, VOC, and various municipal governments. In the nineteenth century, the last members moved in the circles of the royal court of Orange-Nassau in The Hague.
