I have been doing research for an OOB for the Battle of the Sound, in 1658. Dr. Ballhausen, in footnotes on pages 721 to 726 of his book, has much information about Swedish ship armaments. He attributes it to a book:
John Levin Carlbom, Om Karl X Gustafs Polska Krig och övergången till det 2 dra Sundkriget, Göteborg, 1905.
He also has crew numbers for all the ships which seem very plausible.
I will list some of the information:
Samson, 34-36 guns, crew 113
Captain: Matts Mårtensson Dynkirch
Built in1632
Guns: 4-24pdr, 14-14pdr, 4-12pdr, 8-10pdr, 4-6pdr
Carolus, 50-54 guns, crew 187
Captain: Major Klas Johannson Uggla
Built in 1650/51
Guns: 26-24pdr, 20-12pdr, 2-10pdr, 6-6pdr
I would be interested to know what someone knowledgable thinks about this source and the information. I may post more of it, over the next week.
