The Dutch fleet dispatched to the Sound in 1658

The Dutch dispatched a moderate-sized fleet to the Sound to force transports through to relieve Copenhagen, which was besieged by Sweden. The fleet consisted of 35 warships, six fluits, four fireships, and 6 galliots. The fluits were loaded with troops, while some of the warships carried their usual complement of land soldiers. There is a somewhat different view of this list at KentishKnock.com.

This is from G. L. Grove's book Journalen van de Admiralen Van Wassenaer-Obdam (1658/59) en De Ruyter (1659/60) (1907). I have made some corrections from what I consider to be better information. I have handwritten pages that give the soldiers carried by the transports, but I still have not had time to find them, but I will do that soon.
