Martinique in 1667

We know the English ships that took part in the battle against the anchored French fleet at Martinique in June 1667. They were:
  • Lion, 58 guns John Harman
  • Jersey, 50 guns
  • Crown, 48 guns
  • Newcastle, 50 guns
  • Dover, 46 guns
  • Bonaventure, 48 guns
  • Assistance, 46 guns
  • Assurance, 38 guns
  • Norwich, 26 guns
  • Portsmouth ketch, 10 guns
  • Roe ketch, 8 guns
  • Joseph fireship, 4 guns

I don't know the French OOB, but I would welcome help from anyone who might know, as well as how they were anchored.
