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.

The Schellinghout
Ron van Maanen had listed a ship named Schellinghout (or Schellinkhout) hired by the Enkhuizen Directors. He even had the dimensions: 127ft x 26ft x 12-1/2ft, with a height between decks of 6ft. Carl Stapel has found that this is the ship commanded by Jacob Claesz Duijm, which is more commonly known as the Vergulde Zon (or Vergulde Sonne, old style).
