Friesland ships in March 1653

Given what I have seen on the page of Friesland ships on the historical society website, I may be able to do a better job of filling in details of the list in Geschiedenis van het Nederlandsche Zeewezen. I am still not certain how good this list is, but it seems to be better than I have had.

Landsschepen:

  • Groningen, 38 guns crew 110 or 140 men Hendrick Janszoon Camp?
  • Zevenwolden, 38 guns crew 110 or 140 men Frederick Stellingwerf
  • Westergo, 28 guns crew 110 men Tijmen Claeszoon
  • Omlandia, 28 guns crew 110 men Laurens Degelcamp
  • (should include the Graaf Willem jacht of 12 guns built 1644 and 74ft x 18-1/2ft x 7ft)
  • Gehuurde schepen:
  • Graaf Hendrick, 30 guns crew 110 men Jan Reynderszoon Wagenaar
  • Breda, 30 guns crew 110 men Adriaan Bruynsvelt (why wouldn't this be under the Landsschepen?)
  • Sara, 24 guns crew 90 men Lt. Hasselgants
  • Postpaerd, 24 guns crew 90 men Isaak Codde
  • Graaf Willem fluit, 24 guns crew 90 men Jan Coenders (there is a reference saying his ship is the Graaf Willem fluit, but it could be the yacht, instead)
  • Waterhond yacht, 16 guns crew 60 men Captain Oosteroon
  • Harlingen Directors:
  • Sint Vincent, 28 guns Adriaan Cleyntien
  • Prins Willem, 28 guns Andries Douweszoon Pascaert
