After seeing a lot of the other sources for Zeeland ships in 1652 to 1654, the Staet van Oorlog te Water makes much more sense. The Staet helps to match ships against captains mentioned in other lists:
Adm Ship Guns Captain Length
Z Wapen van Zeeland 32 Joost Willemsz Block 118ft
Z Zeelandia 32 Jan Naelhout 118ft
Z Zeelandia 32 Adriaan den Boer 122ft
This was still difficult to match to ships, as there are three
complete sets of dimenisions, two of which are 116ft long, not 118ft:
Adm Ship Guns Dimensions
Z Wapen van Zeeland 27 116ft x 29ft x 10-1/2ft
Z Zeelandia 32 118ft x 28ft x 11-1/2ft
Z Zeelandia 32 116ft x 28-1/2ft x 11-1/2ft
