The Dutch situation after Scheveningen in August 1653

This is based on my translation of a passage in Vol.V of Schetsen uit de geschiedenis van ons zeewezen by Dr. Elias. I have somewhat edited and augmented what was there:

Besides weakening our fleet by the loss of three senior officers (so that only De With and Pieter Florissen had been left with the fleet, as Tromp was killed, De Ruyter forced to go into Goeree, and Jan Evertsen’s ship was disabled) and the 9 named captains lost (some of whom were Cornelis Evertsen de Oude, Claes Janszoon Sanger, Andries Fortuijn, Gerbrand Schatter, and Jan de Haes taken prisoner and Willem Adriaanszoon Warmont and Cornelis Taenman killed), the fleet suffered the complete loss of 10 ships. The Zeeland contingent had suffered the worst, having lost 4 ships. Of them, the Hollandia (Captain Adriaan Bankert) and the Westcappel (Captain Claes Janszoon Sanger) had been sunk, the Eendracht was burnt (Captain Andries Fortuijn), and the Zeeuwsche Leeuw (or Wapen van Zeeland) was lost by exploding gunpowder that cracked the hull two and sank the ship (Captain Cornelis Evertsen de Oude). Of the Amsterdam ships, there were three lost: the Hollandia (commandeur Evert Anthonissen), the Dolphijn (Captain Gerbrand Schatter), and the Omlandia (Marten Schaeff). All were sunk. Moreover, the enemy had taken the Rosencrans (Captain Jan de Haes) and afterwards burnt her. The Frisian states’ ship Sevenwolden (Captain Frederik Stellingwerff) and the East Indiaman Mercurius (Captain Pieter de Bitter) were sunk. The English had saved as many of the crews as they could and took them into captivity.
