A bronze 6-pounder 'drake' cannon with text ‘Admiraliteyt tot Rotterdam - Cornelis Ouderogge – 1658’. L. 202 cm. Probably from the flagship 'De Eendracht', which exploded during a battle with the English flagship 'The Royal Charles' in the Battle of Lowestoft in 1665. In June 1667, when Michiel Adriaensz. de Ruyter and Cornelis de Witt undertook an expedition to destroy the fleet at anchor near Chatham, 'The Royal Charles' was captured by the Dutch along with several other warships, and towed to the river Maas. The stern decoration of 'The Royal Charles' is nowadays on permanent display in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
