Abraham Duquesne
Abraham Duquesne, marquis du Bouchet (French pronunciation: [abʁa.am dykɛn]; c. 1610 – 2 February 1688) was a French naval officer, who also saw service as an admiral in the Swedish navy. He was born in Dieppe, a seaport, in 1610, and was a Huguenot. He was the son of a naval officer and therefore became a sailor himself, spending his early years in merchant service.
