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.

Dutch Captain: Johan de Witte
Johan the Witte lived from 1635 to 1683. He was son-in-law of De Ruyter, since he married De Ruyter's daughter Cornelia in1659. He was captain of a company of marines and distinguished himself in September 1673 at the siege of Naarden. Andrew says that Johan de Witte had fought in the Four Days' Battle and the St. James's Day Battle on board his father-in-law's flagship, the Zeven Provinciën. In October, the Admiralty of Amsterdam appointed him a captain. In 1674, he commanded the Provincie van Utrecht (60 guns) in De Ruyter's expedition to Martinique. Sources:
