History

The Reigersgbergen was a two-decker, with standard dimensions (all in Amsterdam feet) of 156 ft on the upper deck, 133½ ft on the keel, 41 ft in breadth and 15 ft depth in hold. In later ships this standard was stretched to a greater length.

A typical armament for one of these ships was 26 x 18 pounders on the lower deck, 26 x 12 pounders on the upper deck, 18 x 6pdrs on the quarterdeck and 4 x 3 pounders on the poop.
