Name Guns Adty. Date Length Beam Depth 1. Achilles 28-32 A 1630* 131 29 13 This was the ship commanded by Dirk Schey in 1652 and early 1653. J.C. De Jonge, in his notes for 1654, credits the Achilles with 32 guns. (2. Achilles is a mistake. There was no second Achilles) 3. Bommel 30-34 A 1645* 120 28-3/4 11-3/4 This was the ship commanded by Pieter van Brakel in 1652-1653 4. Breda 28-32 F 1637 120 29 11-1/2 This was the ship commanded by Hendrik Jansz Camp in Brazil up to 1652 and by Adriaan Bruynsvelt in 1652-1653 5. Brederode 54-59 M 1644 144 35-3/11 14-2/11 The corresponding dimensions in Maas feet were 132ft x 32-1/4ft x 13ft 6. Burcht van Alkmaar 24-28 N 1645* This was the ship commanded by Gerrit Nobel in 1652. The ship was also called the Wapen van Alkmaar 7. Dolfijn 30-32 A 1633 120 28 10-1/2 The dimensions in the Staat van Oorlog te Water for the year 1654 were incorrect, even though lists in 1652-1653 had the correct dimensions 8. Dolfijn 32 M 1631 120 27-9/11 13-7/11 The dimensions in the Staat van Oorlog te Water for the year 1654 were incorrect, even though lists in 1652-1653 had the correct dimensions. The correct dimensions in Maas feet were 110ft x 25-1/2ft x 12-1/2ft 9. Maagd van Dordrecht 42-46 M 1631 141-9/11* 34-10/11* 14-2* Discarded prior to 1645 10. Drente (jacht) 16* A 1637 88* 22* 9Note that all these dimensions are in Amsterdam feet of 283mm and divided into 11 inches. One problem with Vreugdenhil's list is that the earlier Rotterdam ships (Admiralty of the Maze) actually have the dimensions in Maas feet (308mm divided into 12 inches) shown.
