latter certainly ran aground, probably in early December 1665 at the Vlie: she may have
been subsequently lost or damaged beyond repair, but - curiously - was erroneously list
ed as a capital ship in the report. See ibid, 2483. RSG, 12 December 1665 (on Haagse
Besognes, report, [no date]). Another, the capital ship Wapen van Dordrecht (46, 1652-
55?), is said also to have disappeared from the record in 1665, but this is not the case -
the mistake is due to typical confusion over variant names of Dutch ships: Philips van
Almonde's ship, 1665-6, she is usually known simply as Dordrecht.

marshals' accounts is inconclusive as yet: this concerns numbers of POWs landed only
in Zeeland itself. See ZA, Rek. C 6999.6. Louwijs van den Bergh, accounts (December

probably due to bad weather, but also could have been because Paeuw wanted to
deliver his prize to his own admiralty's jurisdiction. He certainly did not land all of his
POWs at the Vlie: some were transferred to Dishoek on returning to the Wielings. See
