commanded by Jacob Pieterszoon Houck
The Directors of Edam
no.65 Captured: The Zon (28 guns),
commanded by Jacob Duijm
Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier

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.
