Marinus Claesz Juynbol commanded his father's ship in 1633

Claes Juynbol had commanded the Rotterdam ship Neptunis in the attack on the Spanish Silverfleet, and was killed in the fight. In 1633, Marinus Claeszoon Juynbol commanded the same ship, Neptunis, which had been built in 1623 and which had a size of 170 lasts. In 1633, the Neptunis had a crew of 85 men and carried 26 guns:
2 brass half-cartouwen 24pdr
2 brass half-cartouwen 18pdr
2 brass 12pdr
14 iron 18pdr
6  iron 6pdr
The Neptunis was stationed off the coast of Flanders when the Staet van Oorlog te Water for the year 1633 was compiled (which is the source of this data).
