Carl Stapel has added some information about what we know about the Dutch fleet at the Battle of the Gabbard. From the list of ships at Vlissingen in July 1653, we knew about a ship named the David en Goliad, belonging to the Rotterdam Chamber of the VOC. Carl found from Vreugdenhil's notes that the David en Goliad carried 42 guns. He also found from the Notaries that the small Rotterdam ships Overijssel (22 guns) and Utrecht (22 guns) were present at the battle. He does have reason to doubt that the Rozenkrans (ex-English Garland) and the Roskam (ship of Corstiaen Eldertszoon) were present.
