The Salamander

I would almost certainly think, now, that the ship commanded by De Ruyter from 1644 to 1652, the Salamander owned by the Heeren Lampsins, was the ship hired by one of the Zeeland Directors (perhaps the Middelburg Directors) in 1653. Mr. Stapel suggested that might be the case, but at that time, I had not read the entry from The First Dutch War that seems to confirm it. The De Ruyter site has a page and a picture of the ship.
