Zeeland Landsschepen with the fleet on 11 July 1652

The document that I received yesterday has a fleet list dated 11 July 1652. The Zeeland Landsschepen (purpose-built warships) only have the captains and admirals' names, but we know what the ships were:
Adm    Ship                Guns Crew Commander
Z      Hollandia           38   160  vice-admiraal Jan Evertsz
