Herman Walman and Joris Block on 17August 1653

I wondered if Witte de With's journal would mention both HermanWalman and Joris Block at the same time. On 17 August 1653 (pages 159 and 160), there is a listing of the fleet that includes both of them:
Adm   Ship             Guns  Crew  Commander
A     Hollandsche Tuin 24     97   Joris Block
A-Dir Hollandsche Tuin 36    140   Herman Walman
