The Dutch Wood Trade: Timber, Warships, and the Baltic

8 min•13 juli 2026

This episode of The Story of the Netherlands dives into the Dutch wood trade, a vital but often overlooked engine of the Golden Age. Lucas and Luna explore how the Dutch Republic, lacking its own forests, became the timber merchants of Europe. They trace the Baltic timber routes, the role of the Dutch fluyt in transporting wood, and the construction of warships that defended the republic. Key figures like the shipbuilder Jan Salie and the timber merchant Cornelis Pietersz are discussed, alongside the environmental impact of deforestation in Norway and the political control of the Sound Dues. The episode reveals how wood was as crucial as spices or herring to Dutch prosperity.
