An example of the notes I am taking: Cornelis van Velsen and the Gelderland

I am working on a comprehensive document for the First Anglo-Dutch War, that involves taking notes from the various published sources, documents, and input from Carl Stapel. The entry for Cornelis van Velsen, whose ship was the Gelderland, is an example:
Key:

Adm=Admiralty
A=Admiralty of Amsterdam
