Ron van Maanen has information, in his "Zeeland" document, about the Vlissingen Directors' ship Arend, which I believe is the same as the Dubbele Arend. He has all the important details:
The ship, the Arend, a ship hired by the Vlissingen Directors
and in service from 1652 to 1653 (Ron says only 1652)
Length from stem to sternpost: 112ft
Beam inside the planking: 26ft
Hold: 12ft
Height between decks: 6ft
26 guns: 2-12pdr, 10-8pdr, 10-6pdr, and 4-4pdr
Crew: between 98 and 118 men
