De Jonge published in his books several lists dealing with the naval strength of the Dutch E.I.C. For foreigners the main problem is that the books are written in Dutch and not always available in their countries. For this list he used the so-called Brieven en papieren overgekomen uit Oost-Indien, S Ao. 1620, part of the archive of the E.I.C., kept in the National Archive at The Hague. In facts he published two lists, which I combined to the one below.
