Joris van der Zaan's ship, the Campen, in 1652
Joris van der Zaan apparently commanded the Campen from earlier in 1652 up until he was killed in the Three Days Battle (the Battle of Portland). He was present in the confrontation with Anthony Young, at the Start, in May 1652, immediately prior to the outbreak of the war. His brother, Willem van der Zaan appointed captain of the Campen after the Three Days Battle. The Campen, contrary to what I had believed, was hired in 1652 for f3,500. We did know that the ship appeared on the scene in 1652. The Campen was, in fact, one of the Hundred Ships of the Extraordinary Equipage, according to this document. This is the information from the document that Jan Glete sent me:
