Is this the ship that Barent Dorrevelt commanded?
Barent Dorrevelt commanded a ship named Amsterdam that foundered in the storm in the Shetlands in early August 1652. Ron van Maanen says that the information that he has about a ship named Amsterdam may be for that ship. He has the dimensions 120ft x 29ft x 11ft. The armament was 18-12pdr, 10-6pdr, and 2-4pdr guns.
