The Noorderkwartier ship Arnhem, built in 1693

Ron van Maanen has the details of the Noorderkwartier ship Arnhem, built in 1693 and in service until about 1721. THere are conflicting notes, one that says that the ship was built at Enkhuizen and another that says that the ship was built at Hoorn. The dimensions were 145ft x 39-3/4ft x 15ft, with a height between decks of 7-1/4ft. The ship was built to the establishment for 64 guns from 15 February 1680. The guns carried on 3 July 1702 were 24-18pdr, 22-12pdr, 10-6pdr, 4-4pdr, and 4-3pdr. Sources:
