So what were the 7 Zeeland Directors ships with Jan Thyssen in May 1652?

I was curious to see if we could tell what the seven Middelburgh and Vlissingen Directors' ships were with Jan Thyssen, when he joined Tromp's fleet in late May 1652 (circa 20 May). We should at least be able to come close:
Middelburg Directors:

Captain                 Ship            Guns Crew
Jan Le Sage             Vergulden Haan  30   105
Jacob Penssen           Gouden Leeuw    30   110
Joannes van Regermorter ?               30   105
Bastiaan Tuyneman       Sint Laurens    30   105*

Vlissingen Directors:

Captain                 Ship            Guns Crew
Jan Thyssen             Witte Lam       32   110
Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge Vlissingen   26   110
Allert Janszoon         Dubbele Arend?  28   110
Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet agrees that Allert Janszoon is listed as a captain in the service of the Vlissingen Directors. The Dubbele Arend is thought to be his ship, but we don't think that it was a Directors' ship, but was a ship belonging to the Admiralty of Zeeland.
