SteelSandwich Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 I added some more drawings of ships, soon i will add some of the sources used. Instead of doing an elaborate aftermath, i intend on converting that the the intro of this topic: http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/14742-raid-on-the-medway-wip/ In which, quite obvious, i will elaborate on the Medway Raid.

SteelSandwich Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Whereas i initially did not know how many shots the Dutch carried compared to the English, i have finally found that information. The English were normally equipped with 40 shots per gun, with 10 being added on this occasion. Several Dutch provision records show that the Dutch carried 60 shots per gun into battle, all be it some smaller ship carried slightly less due to capacity limits. This would comply with the absence of any battle record mentioned ammunition shortage, as well as comply with the general Dutch principle of being properly stocked. Warships rarely left harbor with less than 4 month worth of provision, regardless of purpose. To add to that: The use of the double prinsflag held no specific meaning and was purely used decorative.

SteelSandwich Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Today i found some very interesting information; the amount of canons which bursted in the action. The first column indicates the Admirality, the second column shows the total amount of canons and the third column showns the quantity that bursted. A nice little additional piece of information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
