Ships taken in English harbors at the beginning of the First Anglo-Dutch War

Dr. Elias mentions, in De Vlootbouw in Nederland, on page 84, that four ships were taken, as they lay in English harbors at the beginning of the First Anglo-Dutch War. These included three Rotterdam ships:
  • Prinses Roijaal Maria (34 guns)
  • Maecht van Dordrecht (26 guns; one of the 116ft ships)
  • Wapen van Rotterdam (26 guns; Jacob Boshuisen's ship, another 116ft ship)

The fourth ship was the Middelburgh (28 guns) belonging to the Admiralty of Amsterdam.
