The July 1653 list of ships at Vlissingen: the Neptunis

There are a few ships that we can name, such as number 87 from the Admiralty of Zeeland. They had 11 ships at the Battle of the Gabbard, and one was captured by the English. Number 87 is apparently the one. This was the Neptunis, commanded by Adriaan Jansz den Oven. This was apparently the ship that had been Michiel De Ruyter's flagship in July and August 1652.
