Here is more from the 1654 list.
Dimensions in Maas feet:
Length: 106 feet
Beam: 25 feet
Hold: 9-1/2 feet
30 guns:
Brass
2-light 15pdr
6-light 5pdr
6-6pdr
Iron
12-12pdr
4-6pdr
Dimensions in Amsterdam feet:
Length: 116 feet
Beam: 27 feet
Hold: 11 feet
Again, these are from the Weber and Van Foreest book about the Four Days Battle. As usual, due to measuring differences, there is not a constant mapping between the dimensions in Maas feet and Amsterdam feet.
