Yes, Dutch pirates, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries, targeted Spanish treasure ships to steal gold and other valuable cargo. This was part of the larger conflict between the Dutch Republic and Spain, as the Dutch sought to weaken Spanish dominance and gain independence. These pirate activities were often sanctioned by the Dutch government through letters of marque, which allowed privateers to attack enemy vessels legally.
