Some interesting tidbits from Dr. Ballhausen about ships at the Battle of Scheveningen

While Dr. Ballhausen seems to have not used any archival documents, he did do a comprehensive review of the published literature, much of it quite obscure. He often makes assessments that I would not accept. I will list some interesting information about ships and captains from the list for Scheveningen (Katwijk-aan-Zee):
Adm    Captain                      Ship                   Guns  Crew

I have made a few corrections to the information.
