A candidate for Ruth Jacobsz Buys' ship from Ron van Maanen's document
After study of Ron van Maanen's document, one candidate for Ruth Jacobsz Buys' ship is suggested: the Sint Pieter of 24 to 28 guns and a crew of from 100 to 122 men. Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet gives the ship 26 guns and a crew of 105 men.
