Dutch Captain: Emmanuel Zalingen

Emmanuel Zalingen served the Admiralty of Amsterdam during the First Anglo-Dutch War. He commanded the hired fluit, the Aartsengel Michiel (40 guns and a crew of 120 men). His ship carried relatively small guns, despite the size of the ship. He reported late to De Ruyter's fleet on 26 July 1652 and was assigned to Jan Gideonszoon Verburch's division. He fought in the Battle of Plymouth on 26 August 1652. He joined Witte de With's fleet with the rest of De Ruyter's fleet, but was sent in for repairs on 2 October 1652, as his was among the ships judged unfit for battle. On October 29, Witte de With ordered captain Zalingen's ship to receive victuals for 10 weeks at sea. At the end of the year, he was ordered to the Mediterranean Sea, where his ship was used a storeship. Sources:
