I see that I can correct on error that occurs on page 186 in Vol.V of The First Dutch War. There is a list of four fireships from the Admiralty of Amsterdam. They list, which is translated into English has four vessels:
- the ship Cleyne (clearly an error)
- the Fortune
- the Great Hope
- the Sun
I happen to have a copy of a manuscript from that period (later in June 1653). This list in the manuscript has the following:
- the ship the Klein Hoop - Commandeur Jan Claesz.
- the ship the Fortuijn - Commandeur Schoonevelt
- the ship the Groot Hoop - Comandeur Cornelis de Joris (the last name could be wrong-could be Heris)
- the ship the Zon - Commandeur Warnaer Crimp
