Can you provide some additional infos please.

Dutch ship Rotterdam. 
@GreedyGriffin found it in black in white (but not sure the image relates to the correct ship - but name and company checks out)
https://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?183669

I downloaded the image from one of the online collections in 2015 Digital scan of the book (the rest of images did not look interesting) but now i cannot find it as it was probably deleted or removed.

looks similar to be honest.

by Francois van Douwe

(dutch, 1659 - 1735)

Study of the stern of the Dutch warship De Maas

 

Rotterdam had this unique french style (flat paintings on top) combined with dutch style which gradually gave way to just sculptures and decorations.

Sir, I searched for info about Francois Van Douwe. According to sources, "he designed and manufactured, among other things, ship's mirrors, a marble choir screen in the Laurenskerk and the casing of the organ in the Oosterkerk in Rotterdam"

The colour, perspective, composition and attention to detail are too similar. Those paintings are from the same author.

Honestly, I'm not convinced. The flags of the navy of the Batavian Republic looked quite different: They show a seated "Liberty" who - together with the "Batavian Lion"  - holds a staff crowned by a (sailor's) top hat. The field of the pennant (Wimpel) is all red.

Regarding the style of the ornaments of the yacht shown above, it is very much like c.1700 indeed. The flag appears to show a pair of crossed anchors topped by what looks like a crown (?), all surrounded by a floral pattern. The hoist end of the larger pennant shows the same crowned crossed anchors, in my opinion.
