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.

More about Eland Du Bois, thanks to Andrew
Andrew found "a small bit of information about the famous captain Eland Du Bois.
He was a very young captain-from 24 years. Eland Govertsz du Bois was christened on 17 Aug 1642 in Schiedam. He died on 26 Dec 1676 in Schiedam. He was buried on 31 Dec 1676 in Schiedam. He married Maria Hugo van Bleiswijk on 17 Jul 1669, also in Schiedam." We thank Andrew for these details.
