This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

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".
