Cornelis van Kruiningen

Carl Stapel found that in 1652, Cornelis van Kruiningen had been Adriaan Jansz den Gloeyenden Oven's schipper on the jacht Zeeuwsche Jager (14 guns and a crew of 56 men). He was given command of his own ship, the Japonder or Dordrecht (17 guns, 70 sailors and 20 soldiers), about July 1652. The ship served as a convoyer in the west. On 18 August, he left Vlissingen (Flushing) for the coast of "New Netherlands". Sources:
