Some of the Hundred Ships (to be hired in 1652)

This is a partial list of the ships hired to fulfill the need to for the Dutch Admiralties to hire 100 ships in 1652. In fact, only about 38 ships were actually hired in 1652. In all probability, there were never 100 ships hired. This is the list:
Adm Captain                   Ship              Guns Crew
R   Corstiaen Eldertszoon     Roskam            26   105
R   Quirijn van den Kerckhoff Maria             26   110
A   Joris de Caulerij         Hoop              28   100
A   Jan ter Stege (Verstege)  Keyser            26   100
N   Rens Sevenhuysen          Roode Leeuw       24    80
N   Gerrit Nobel              Burgh van Alkmaar 24    80
N   Gerrit Munth              Huis van Nassau   ?    ?
N   Allert Tamessen           Wapen van Hoorn   30   115
N   Willem Ham                Tobias            26    90
N   Cornelis Taenman          Prins Maurits     32   110
N   Claes Aldertszoon         Nieuwcasteel      ?    ?
N   Jan Noblet                Land van Beloften ?    ?
N   Herman Munnekes           Wapen van Holland 30   110
N   Jan Heck                  Adam en Eva       24    80
Z   Lambert Bartelszoon       a ship            28   100
Z   Johannes Michielszoon     a fast storeship  20   100
Z   Daniel Cornelisz Brackman a ship            ?    ?
The First Dutch War, Vol.IV, among other places, lists some ship which are stated to be among the Hundred, but we know that they were, in fact, States' ships, built for naval service. There are other ships that are likely to be among the Hundred, but the re is no hard evidence of that.
