Dutch Captain: Jacob Teding van Berkhout

Jacob Teding van Berkhout served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. We first know of him in 1671, when he commanded the Harderwijk (44 guns and a crew of 180 sailors and 40 soldiers) in Lt.-Admiral Van Ghent's squadron with the fleet. By May of 1672, he commanded the Akerboom (60 guns and a crew of 230 sailors and 50 soldiers), again in Van Ghent's squadron. He commanded the Akerboom at least through the Schooneveld battles in 1673. From analysis, it is apparent that he was the Battle of the Texel in August 1673, not Adriaan Teding van Berkhout, who served the Noorderkwartier. The next time he is mentioned in "Brandt", he was in command of the Oosterwijk (60 guns and a crew of 270 men), in July 1675. He was under the command of De Ruyter, destined for the Mediterranean Sea. In January 1676, Captain Teding van Berkhout was assigned to the Third Squadron, under Schout-bij-Nacht Nicolaes Verschuur. He was also present on 22 April 1676, with the fleet, at Etna. On 28 May 1676, he was under Vice-Admiral Callenburgh at Palermo. "Brandt" is useless, after De Ruyter was killed.
