The Amsterdam frigate Ijlst (Ylst) in 1666

The small Amsterdam frigate Ijlst participated in the Four Days Battle in 1666. Thanks to Dr. Weber, we know a good bit about her.

• captain: Jacob Dirkszoon Boom
• crew: 120 sailors and 20 soldiers
• built: probably in 1663
• dimensions: 114ft x 28ft x 11ft
• armament: Lower tier: 6-12pdr and 12-8pdr; Upper tier: 12-6pdr; quarterdeck: 4-2pdr

I would guess that she measured 170 lasts, at least if we are generous in rounding.
