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.

Ron van Maanen has the dimensions for the Zwanenburg, burnt at Lowestoft in 1665
One of the ships for which Ron van Maanen has dimensions but not a gun list, is the Zeeland ship Zwanenburg, burnt at the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665. Cornelis Kuijper commanded the Zwanenburg in the battle. The Zwanenburg was quite small: 110ft x 26ft x 10ft with a height between decks of 6ft. At the Battle of Lowestoft, the Zwanenburg carried 30 guns and had a crew of 120 men.
