De Sneuper on Joost Bulter and the Kameel

De Sneuper lists Joost Bulter and the Kameel. They say that the Kameel was a Groningen Director's ship, which I had thought to be the case, at one point. The explanation of the 50 Directors' ships to be hired in 1652 included one Groningen ship. What changed my thinking on this was that Dr. Elias called the Kameel a ship belonging to the Admiralty of Friesland. The list of ships at Vlissingen in July 1653, which lists all the ships at the Battle of the Gabbard, and gives their fates, also says that the Kameel was a ship belonging to the Admiralty of Friesland.
