The Rest of the Scheveningen List
By the way, this document was from 12 August 1652.
This is the rest of the list from there:
Brak, 18 guns - Poppe Brinckers - Amsterdam Admiralty
Westfriesland, 28 guns - Hendrick Huyskens - Amsterdam Admiralty
Amsterdam, 30 guns - Pouwelis (Paulus) Egbertsz. Souck - Amsterdam Admiralty
Windhond, 18 guns - Jan Admirael - Amsterdam Admiralty
Leeuwarden, 36 guns - Govert Reael - Amsterdam Admiralty
Leiden, 28 guns - Hendrick Kroeger - Amsterdam Admiralty
Hoop - Dirck Pater - Amsterdam Directors
Fazant, 32 guns - Jan Janszoon Lapper - Amsterdam Admiralty
Hollandsche Tuin, 32 guns - Joris Willemszoon Block - Amsterdam Directors
This concludes the list. Already, including the known losses, we know many Dutch ships that were at the Battle of Scheveningen.
I have questions about Dirck Pater and the Hoop, as he commanded the Amsterdam Directors' ship, Blauwe Arend, from early 1652 up until at least after the Battle of Portland. It is possible that Dirck Pater took command of the Hoop, after the Battle of the Gabbard, where Boëtius Schaeff was killed.
