A small, 24 gun hired ship for the Admiralty of Amsterdam

In 1652, Gillis Thijssen Campen (as it is written on the page) commanded the small, 24 gun ship Gouden Leeuw. The striking thing is the light armament carried. This is the data from the information that I received from Jan Glete:

The ship Gouden Leeuw, Capt. Gijllis Thijssen Campen

Length from stem to sternpost:    113ft
Beam:                              26ft
Hold:                              12ft
Height between decks:               6-1/2ft

24 guns:
6 iron gotelingen   8 lbs
8 iron gotelingen   6 lbs
4 iron gotelingen   4 lbs
4 iron gotelingen   3 lbs
2 iron gotelingen   2 lbs

Crew of 75 men

Given that the Gouden Leeuw was essentially used as a small ship of the line, with the fleet, I can see why the ship was paid off in October. It may also have been in poor condition. During the summer of 1652, Gillis Thyssen Campen was assigned to Witte de With's squadron of ten ships.
