Jan Pieterszoon Renaren's ship, the Sint Jeronimus

One thing we know from Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet is that Jan Pieterszoon Renaren's ship was credited with 30 guns and had a crew of 110 men. His ship belonged to the Medemblick Directors. The Sint Jerominus belonged to the ships built to the 116ft charter. The dimensions were, as I have previously noted: 116ft x 28ft x 11ft, with 7ft between the main deck and the upper deck.
