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.

William Crispin doesn't appear in R. C. Anderson's captains list
William Laird Clowes's The Royal Navy, a History from the Earliest Times to the Present lists William Crispin as the captain of the 4th Rate Laurel, which was in William Penn's fleet sent to the Caribbean in 1654. I previously posted the list of ships for that fleet. R. C. Anderson only lists Richard Newberry as captain for the Laurel in 1653 to 1654, and Henry Kirby as captain in 1655. This will require further investigation to sort this out. Sources:
