This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

Quirijn van den Kerckhoff commanded the Maria
Quirijn van den Kerckhoff commanded the hired fluitschip Maria in 1652. Dr. Elias, in De Vlootbouw in Nederland, described a letter of the Admiralty of the Maze, dated 17 October 1652, that says that captains Quirijn van den Kerckhoff, De Bertry, and De Haes commanded the hired fluits Maria, Holandia, and Gulden Beer, which were lying at Amsterdam at that date.
