This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

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.
