More about the Battle of Portland (28 February to 2 March 1653, New Syle)

I have been reading the Onstelde-Zee (1654) pages about the Battle of Portland (with some difficulty). Now, I have open my copy of Schetsen uit de Geschiedenis van ons Zeewezen. I am looking at the Dutch ship losses and captains killed.

Rotterdam captains killed:

  • Corstiaen Corstiaenszoon, Prins te Paard (38 guns)
  • Quirijn van den Kerckhoff, Maria (26 guns)
  • Hendrick de Munnick, Wapen van Holland (30 guns)(burnt)
  • Amsterdam captains killed:

  • Augustijn Balck, Vrijheid (44 guns)
  • Joris van der Zaan, Campen (42 guns)
  • Cornelis Janszoon Poort, Kroon Imperiaal (34 guns), Director's ship (sunk)
  • Jacob Sijvertszoon Spanheijm, Elias (34 guns), Director's ship
  • Sipke Fockes, Groote Sint Lucas (28 guns), Director's ship (captured)
  • Dirck Schey, Achilles (28 guns)
  • Abraham van Campen, Arche Troijane (28 guns), Director's ship (sunk)
  • Noorderkwartier captain killed:

  • Pieter Aldertszoon, Burcht (24 guns)
  • Zeeland captains killed:

  • Joost Banckert, Liefde (26 guns)
  • Johannes Regermorter
  • , a ship (30 guns), a Middelburg Directors ship
  • Johannes Michelszoon, a fast storeship
  • East India Company captain killed:

  • Cornelis Adriaanszoon Cruijck, Vogelstruis (44 guns) (captured)
  • In addition to this list, which is from Jan Evertsen's journal, we know that the Friesland ship, Frisia, commanded by Schelte Wichelma, blew up, and he was almost certainly killed.
