The 40-gun ship Gelderland
I received a piece from Mr. Carl Stapel about the ship Gelderland from 1634. I need to do some more research on this ship, as some of this is different from what I would expect. I was glad to see the dimensions in Amsterdam feet. I could only estimate them, based on the Admiralty of Rotterdam (the Maze) document dated February 26, 1652, which listed them in Maas feet.
