The Sevenwolden-handwritten
I have a very poor copy of a document that seems to date from later in June 1652. The document is the one that is very similar to an English intelligence report published in The First Dutch War, Vol.V, from Thurloe. I took the captain's name and the ship name for the Zevenwolden. The spelling in 1652 was Sevenwolden. Frederick Stellingwerff was apparently a "commandeur" of the sort who was a luitenant in command of a ship. This is the image:
The ship is described as "The Seven Wolden"
