More ships at the Battle of Scheveningen (1653)

A feature of how I am doing this is that I don't always have a clear picture of what I have already posted. Hopefully, this is new information to most people. Having this list here will help me, as I compile a complete list of Dutch ships that participated in the Battle of Scheveningen (also known as Ter Heide).

These ships all survived the battle:

  • Brederode, 54 guns - Lt. Adm. Tromp (killed), Captain Egbert Meeuwsen Kortenaer - Rotterdam Admiralty
  • Vrijheid, 46 guns - Vice-Adm. Witte de With, Captain Abraham van der Hulst - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Zeelandia, 36 guns - Nikolaas Marrevelt - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Prins Willem, 28 guns - Jan Jansz. Boermans - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Jonas - Captain Volderij - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Gouda, 28 guns - Jan Egbertsz. Ooms - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Pelikaan, 28 guns - Captain Overcamp - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Groningen, 42 guns - Gillis Thyssen Campen - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Campen, 40 guns - Willem van der Zaan - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Bommel, 30 guns - Pieter van Brakel - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Engel Gabriel, 28 guns - Adriaan van den Bosch (or Bos)
  • Vrede, 44 guns - Gideon de Wildt - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Zutphen, 28 guns - Hillebrandt Jeroensz. de Moy (killed) - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Goude Reael, 28 guns - Adriaan van Loenen - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Morgenstart - Captain Quaeff - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Edam (Swarte Bul), 28 guns - Barent Cramer - Amsterdam Admiralty
  • Overijssel, 28 guns - Jan van Campen - Amsterdam Admiralty

I will have to finish this list later. I had not realized how many ships we know were at Scheveningen. This is from a manuscript published in Vol.V, The First Dutch War, pp.358-364.
