Malachi Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I was searching through the Maritime Museum Rotterdam's digital collection and came across this ship. It has nice plans, but I could not find it's name (It's unlikely that Vierde Charter Gemonteerd is it's name). To see plans click Here Lots of nice stuff there, downloaded a couple of plans a while ago. Plans that are complete and would be interesting for NA: Hellevoetsluis/Vollenhoven, 1707, 20 gun frigate Schcipio, 1780, 22 gun frigate Jason, 1778, 26 gun frigate 4th Rate (no name), 1750, 40 guns 4th Rate (no name), 1780, 46 guns, The NMM has plans for two other dutch 4th Rates (Princes Carolina, 1748/ Rotterdam, 1761). And there´s a draught for the absolutely beautiful 60-gun Boekenroode of 1729, might be a bit hard to find, though, can´t remember where I got my copy from.

Mighty_Alex Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think de Delft is the best candidate for the first dutch warship in the game. 1) It's more modern (1783) unlike other famous dutch ships from the 17th century (beautiful but old-fashioned). 2) It will fill the gap between Constie and Bellona nicely. 3) That statue in the middle of the stern is so badass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeekoning Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 More ships from Rotterdam's Maritime Museum Schip lang 145 voet, gebouijt Jaer 1730 De Stadt Delft 's Landsschip van ca. 64 stukken en uit ca. 1777 Het fregat de 'Mary en Hillegonda' Oorlogsschip van 74 stukken Canon Schip à 74 stukken Schip van 74 stukken Tuigteekening van Z.M. de 'Ruyter' van 74 stukken Technische tekening met een schip van 74 stukken. Diverse onderdelen van linieschip 'L'Galathe' Also, I agree with Mighty_Alex that the Delft would be a great addition to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It would be interesting to find a Dutch 1st rate from the Napoleonic era! I'm not sure the Dutch had any large SoLs in that era. Their own historian described their navy as "second rate" after 1725 or so, and it was mostly a trade protection force old 64-gunners. What remained was captured by the revolutionary French cavalry(!) in the 1790s. So they lost their battleships to horsemen riding out on the ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Speirs Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Batavia and Duyfken spring to mind as Dutch ships, though they are early 1600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreWesley Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Well, on the research for Dutch Ships, the largest Dutch ship in the Napoleonic Wars that I could find was the 90-Gun Ship of the Line "Chatham", built in 1799 and broken up in 1823, however I am pretty sure she was never in a any engagement. http://threedecks.org/index.php?display_type=show_ship&id=793 Also, gents, don't forget about the "Vrijheid": http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/topic/3330-dutch-ship-of-the-line-vrijheid-freedom-1782/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirones Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 did she had a sister ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodoreWesley Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 No, I have not found any sister ships for the Chatham, I also checked the Rotterdam dockyard list on ThreeDecks, but no other ship has her same lines or guns as her. She seemed to be a one-of-a-kind type of ship, which makes it more difficult to find plans for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeekoning Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 While not a sister ship to the Chatham, the Neptunus boasts 94 guns, as well as a complete set of plans. Also it has some detailed drawings as well. Stern Rear Stern Side Bow Front Bow Side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelSandwich Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Steenbergen 1664 The Steenbergen was build in 1664. She was known for her participation in the Battle of Palermo in 1676. During the battle she was set on fire and ultimately lost. While burning, the Steenbergen drifted into the Vrijheid en Leiden and caused their loss as well. ( Now tell me she isn't sexy ) Some additional information: Commander from 1671: Jacob Binckes Commander from mid. 1672: Jan Roetering Commander from mid. 1673: Jan van Gelder Commander from late 1673: Engel de Ruyter Commander from 1674: Cornelis van den Heuvel Commander from mid. 1675: Pieter van Middelland (Died at the Battle of Palermo) Dimensions: 150ft x 38ft x 15 ft Armament: Varies from 64 guns in 1671, to 70 guns in 1673, to 68 guns in 1676 Crew: Varies from 310 to 350 crew If someone has additional information, i would love to hear it. I simply love this ship! Edited July 14, 2015 by SteelSandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
