  • Abraham Blauvelt (m. 1663) fue un pirata neerlandés del siglo XVII, que exploró las costas de Honduras y Nicaragua, a comienzos de la década del 1630 d. C. Luego de un tiempo viajó a Inglaterra donde le propuso a la Corona británica financiar la creación de una base en el Caribe nicaragüense debido a su geografía que era vista por Blauvelt como una base estratégica contra los españoles. Lugares como la Ciudad de Bluefields, Nicaragua y el Puerto de Blewfields, Jamaica llevan su nombre hasta la fecha. (es)
  • Abraham Blauvelt (mort en 1663 ?) est un corsaire et explorateur hollandais. Il est l’un des derniers corsaires hollandais du XVIIe siècle. Il cartographie une grande partie de l’Amérique centrale dans les années 1630. Il donne son nom à la ville de Bluefields au Nicaragua, à la où se trouve cette ville, ainsi qu'au village de Bluefields dans le sud-est de la Jamaïque, près de Savanna-la-Mar, et la où il se trouve.

  • Abraham Blauvelt (-1663?) was een ontdekkingsreiziger, cartograaf, kaper en piraat uit de Nederlanden. In het begin van de jaren dertig van de 17e eeuw duikt Blauvelt voor het eerst op in de geschiedenis. Hij was toen vooral bezig de kust van Midden-Amerika in kaart te brengen en er zijn later in Nicaragua de plaats Bluefields en de rivier daar dicht bij (Bluefield river) naar hem vernoemd. Dat zijn geboortedatum en precieze afkomst niet bekend is, is niet zo vreemd: er was nog geen burgerlijke stand en het is vaak alleen mogelijk de identiteit van iemand vast te stellen wanneer hij officiële familie- of erfakten liet opmaken, wat Blauvelt kennelijk niet deed omdat hij zich permanent in Amerika ophield.

  • Абрахам Блаувельт (Блуфилд) (нидерл. Abraham Blauvelt (Blewfield); 16??—1663) — голландский пират и исследователь, действовавший в 1631—1663 годы. Отважный и находчивый мореплаватель, имя которого в Вест-Индии носят, по меньшей мере, два географических пункта. В начале 30-х годов XVII века Блаувельт исследовал побережье Гондураса и Никарагуа для пиратов с острова Провиденс. Он вернулся в Англию в 1637 году и предложил основывать поселения возле города и реки Блуфилдс в Никарагуа. После этого сведений о Блаувельте нет. (ru)
