The Directors of Hoorne no. 64 An unready ship: the Sampson (30 guns), commanded by Jacob Pieterszoon Houck The Directors of Edam no.65 Captured: The Zon (28 guns), commanded by Jacob Duijm Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier No.66 Ready, for a Commandeur: perhaps the Monnikendam (38 guns), flagship of Pieter Florissen No.67 Ready; in fact very ready No.68 Ready No.69 Ready No.70 Ready No.71 Ready. Sails well. Small No.72 Captured: the Stad Medemblik (30 guns), commanded by Pieter Schellinger No.73 Ready No.74 Unready No.75 Very unready. A fluit. Directors of Monnikendam No.76 Captured: the Halve Maan, commanded by Hendrick Pieterszoon No.77 A good ship, but has damage. A very large ship: the ship of Jacob Claeszoon Boot East India Company at Hoorne No.79 Unready: perhaps the Profeet Samuel, commanded by Reynst Corneliszoon Sevenhuysen. He eventually was ordered to move his crew to the Mars (46 guns), a ship apparently owned by the Enkhuizen Chamber of the VOC.We know many of the Noorderkwartier ships, but it seems impossible to say to which the numbers referred.
