What ships might have been among the "Forty Ships" of 1648
The least documented group of ships in the Dutch navy for the First Anglo-Dutch War are the forty ships funded at the peace treaty with Spain in 1648. This is an estimate of which those ships might have been. The only sure ship is probably the Brederode. The ships in service for the Admiralty of Zeeland are the biggest unknown.
