Claes Marinuszoon Juynbol

Claes Marinuszoon Juynbol commanded the Rotterdam ship Neptunus in the attack on the Spanish Silverfleet. He was killed in the fight. His ship was one we know a good bit about, since it belonged to the Admiralty of Rotterdam:
  • Neptunus (Neptunis in old documents)
  • 26 guns: 2-24pdr, 16-18pdr, 2-12pdr, and 6-6pdr
  • Crew: 85 sailors
  • Built: 1623
  • Size: 170 lasts
