Dutch Captain: Wouter Wijngaarden
Wouter Wijngaarden served the Admiralty of Amsterdam. He fought in the Four Days' Battle, where he commanded the Haarlem (44 guns). This was an old ship built in 1644. Wouter Wijngaarden was assigned to Jan Corneliszoon Meppel's squadron. It is not clear when he was killed, from the sources that I have. On the first day, Meppel's squadron initially fought with Sir George Ayscue's squadron. Sources:
