Goodies from the March 1653 list of Dutch ships

I want to make an effort to see if we can find a list that corresponds to the March 1653 list in Geschiedenis van het Nederlandsche Zeewezen. There is no guarantee that it survived past the mid-19th Century, sadly. There are some valuable nuggets to be found there: Rotterdam ships:
  • Brederode, 54 guns crew 200 sailors and 50 soldiers
  • Gelderland, 40 guns crew 110 sailors and 30 soldiers
  • Prinses Louise, 36 guns crew 124 sailors and 46 soldiers
  • Gulden Dolphijn, 32 guns crew 95 sailors and 30 soldiers
  • Gorkum, 30 guns crew 95 sailors and 30 soldiers
  • Rotterdam, 30 guns crew 80 sailors and 20 soldiers
  • Gelderland, 24 guns crew 80 sailors and 20 soldiers
  • Overijssel, 22 guns crew 80 sailors and 20 soldiers
  • Utrecht, 22 guns crew 80 sailors and 20 soldiers

Amsterdam ships:

  • yacht Brak, 18 guns crew 70 sailors and 15 soldiers
  • yacht Windhond, 18 guns crew 70 sailors and 15 soldiers

Zeeland ships:

  • Hollandia, 36 guns crew 116 men
  • Gekroonde Liefde, 24 guns crew 85 men
  • yacht Dordrecht, 70 guns
  • yacht Gloeyenden Oven, 14 guns crew 40 sailors
