Named ships from the July 1653 list at Vlissingen (also, Goeree and the Texel)

Very few ships in the July 1653 list are named. Those that are, are often referenced by a shortened version of the name or a nickname. This is a summary of the named ships:
Admiralty of Amsterdam

Leeuwarden
Phesant (Fazant) (Jan de Lapper)
Dolphijn (Gerbrandt Schatter)
Oude Prins (Prins Willem) (Jan Jansz Boermans)
Omlandia (Jacob Troncquoij)
Leiden (Hendrik Kroeger)

Rotterdam Chamber of the VOC

David en Goliat (Jan Adriaansz van den Werff)

Zeeland Directors (Vlissingen, Middelburg, Zierikzee, Veere)

Vlissingen  Jan Pouwelszoon
Eendracht   Andries Fortuijn, a fluit
The captains in parentheses are those known to command the ships. Those without parentheses are actually named in the document.
