    Technically, the war between the Netherlands and the Scilly Islands would have ended when the last war between England and the Netherlands was concluded with a peace treaty towards the end of the 17th century.

    That treaty undoubtedly forsaw an end to all hostilities between the Netherlands and any English territory.
    This implied that all forces by land and by sea of the Netherlands and the Scilly Islands were to desist from any further combat.

    Manhatten, Haarlem and New Amsterdam became New York, and the Dutch had to stop their raids on Kent, which, although not directed against the civilian population, but rather naval military facilities, were disapproved of by the Kentish people.

    It seems that the courage brewary was trading well in those days, when the Dutch raiders stopped over for a pint at Chatham.
