The Zierikzee Directors' ship

We apparently know more information about the single Zierikzee Directors' ship. The captain is sometimes called Cornelis Rocuszoon Teincen, but from handwritten documents, it is apparent that his correct name is Cornelis Rocuszoon Fincen. That is the name listed in Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet, as well. He commanded a ship that carried 34 guns and had a crew of 110 men. The ship was apparently named the Liefde, which is the real news.
