Michael Robinson's identification of Corstiaen Corstiaenszoon's ship

On page 8 of Vol.I of the Van de Velde Paintings book was where the author an Van de Velde expert Michael Robinson identified Corstiaen Corstiaenszoon's ship as the Prins te Paard. His reliance on Dr. Ballhausen, who has so many errors that we would be cautious in accepting anything he says without finding corroboration. If the identification is from writing on the drawing, then I am more willing to accept the identification. A good deal of what Michael Robinson used was from articles from Oud Holland, which published, among other topics, articles about the Van de Veldes and their artwork.
