Teunis Vechterszoon's ship

Carl Stapel has copies of many of A. Vreugdenhil's notes for his list of ships. They have been further annotated, after the publication of his list in 1938. One open question has been the name and characteristics of Teunis Vechterszoon's ship. Teunis Vechterszoon served with the fleet in the summer, fall, and winter of 1652 and into 1653. He sailed with Tromp's fleet to the Shetlands in July and August 1652. He was assigned to Witte de With's squadron at that date. He also seems to have fought in the Battle of the Kentish Knock, at Dungeness, and the Three Days Battle (Portland), although I have not listed him as being there. Vreugdenhil apparently does, however. Teunis Vechterszoon's ship is said to be named Scheletje (Carl says it means Little Bell). There are good references giving his ship's crew as 70 men, and an armament of 24 guns is very plausible. His ship was paid off after Portland. Carl says that the Scheletje was a ship hired by the Enkhuizen Directors, although I had always credited the ship with being hired by the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier. Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet is of no help, as he listed Teunis Vechterszoon as serving Medemblick. Sources:
