Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge's ships in 1652 to early 1653

The list De Rutyer's fleet in early August 1652 says that Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge's ship was the Vlissingen (26 guns). We know that this was a Vlissingen Directors' ship. From a list from May 1653, from Witte de With's letters (E8811), that in May, Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge commanded a States' ship that carried 28 guns and had a crew of 95 men. Carl Stapel found a reference that indicated that on 27 March 1653, Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge commanded the ship West Cappel (28 guns). From another list from Carl Stapel, date 20 June 1653, we know that Cornelis Evertsen de Jonge still commanded the West Cappel at that date. He also must have commanded the West Cappel in the Battle of the Gabbard. Sources:
