Ron van Maanen has the list of 26 guns carried by Ruth Jacobsz Buys' ship Hollandia

Ron van Maanen's list of Rotterdam ships has a list of 26 guns that were carried by the Hollandia 0n 8 April 1653: 2-12pdr, 12-8pdr, 6-6pdr, 4-4pdr, and 2-2pdr guns. I was thinking that this differed from the list that Carl Stapel had found, but it does not. Apparently, the 2-12pdr were iron guns, while the rest were brass ("metaal"). By the way, Hendrick de Raedt's pamphlet gives the Hollandia's crew as 105 men (presumably in August 1652). Sources:
