Some of the Hundred ships employed by the Admiralty of Zeeland in August 1652

From Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet, we have the list of the captains that were in Tromp's fleet during the voyage to the Shetlands in July to August 1652. The list contains the listing of the ships hired by the Admiralty of Zeeland that were part of the 100 ships to be hired by the admiralties in 1652. Thanks to Carl Stapel's latest finds, we can better fill in the list:
Adm   Ship                Guns  Crew  Captain
Z     Eendracht           18    100   Lambert Bartelsoon
Z     Haze                20    100   Joannes Michielszoon
Z     Sint Joris          28     85   Jacob Wolphertszoon
Z     Offerande Abrahams  24    100   Daniels Cornelisz Brackman
Z     Dolfijn             26     96   Dingeman Cats
