A ship named Eenhorn, built in 1638

Ron van Maanen has information about an Eendracht built in 1638 and possibly only in service until 1641. The ship was 150 lasts, which could be a ship 116ft x 26-1/2ft x 10ft (Noorderkwartier dimensions for a 116ft ship). Ron has the armament for the Eenhoorn, which was 26 guns: 21-8pdr, 3-6pdr, 1-5pdr, and 1-2pdr. Sources:
