Another "goodie" from Mr. Carl Stapel: the Dutch fleet at Vigo Bay
In the continuing series of information from Mr. Carl Stapel, this is the list of the Dutch fleet at Vigo Bay for the capture of the Spanish Silverfleet. I believe that this is more material from Captain Warnsinck's notes from the Scheepvaart Museum.
