Dutch ships operating in the Baltic in December 1652

Carl Stapel says that there were 15 Dutch ships operating in the Baltic in December 1652. He provided with the names of six Amsterdam Directors' ships that were there. There is also a list in The First Dutch War, Vol.III, that names some captains. Putting the two lists together, I have 11 of the 15 ships:
Adm   Ship                     Guns Crew Captain
A-Dir Roosenboom               28   105  Gerrit Schuyt
A-Dir Vergulde Valck           28   105  Cornelis Jansz Brouwer
A-Dir Groote Vergulde Fortuijn 35   135  Frederick de Coninck
A-Dir Engel Gabriel            28   110  Bastiaen Bardoel
A-Dir Swarte Leeuw             30   130  Hendrick de Raedt
A-Dir Blauwe Arend             28   105  Dirck Pater
A     Edam                     28   100  Barent Cramer
A     Brak                     18    70  Pieter van Zalingen
A     Dolphijn                 26    95  Gerbrand Schatter
A     Westfriesland            28   100  Hendrick Huyskens
A     Phesant                  32   120  Jan Jansz Lapper
