I'm finally working on analyzing the "Staet van Oorlogh te water voor den Jahre 1654"
This afternoon, I started work on reading the pages (digitized from
microfilm) for the July 1654 list (the "Staet van Oorlogh te water voor
den Jahre 1654"). I am up to page 46 of 111 pages. As usual, there are
parts of the document that are really good, and other parts that are a
big disappointment. The disappointments are where little information is
recorded.
There are at least two versions of this list extant. I believe that
there are at least three. The first copy I got was of an incomplete
list. The one I am currently analyzing is the most complete of the
three.
