The Haarlem in 1666

Even though the Amsterdam ship Haarlem, built in 1644, was 128ft long, it seems to have left some ports empty. Her dimensions were the standard for a 250-last ship: 128ft x 31-1/2ft x 12ft. Her armament in 1666, at the Four Days Battle, was 4-18pdr and 14-12pdr on the lower tier. The upper tier was armed with 18-6pdr. In both cases, that is 9 ports filled per tier, per side. The upperworks (presumably, the quarterdeck) was armed with 8-3pdr. This continues the practice of 1665, where gun counts were filled out with many small-caliber guns, so that certain ships would have 70 guns, despite having a low broadside weight. In this case, the armament was 44 guns.
