Translations:http://www.vocsite.nl/schepen/scheepstypen.html Hunting and / or pinas Pinas

Drawing of a pin shaft. In: Nicolaes Witsen, 1671.- Aeloude and Hedendaegsche Shipbuilding and Bestier. It is not certain that the names Pinas and Hunting involve the same type of ship. Perhaps pinas and hunting differed only in size [Fox, 2012]. In the early 17th century, there was at least no difference. In the lists of the OCR are sometimes used two names for the same ship. To make the confusion even greater was the East Indiaman also called pin shaft at the end of the 17th century. The designation hunt was additionally used for toy boats, yachts states and even boats that were carried by the mirror return ships. To build pinnaces would only decided in 1652 by the Lords XVII, although for the time already similar smaller ships were built. The larger ships two versions were built, one of 116 feet and 128 feet. The fast sailing pinnace, developed from the caravel was used for both war and trade. In contrast to the flute this moment had a flat mirror, was distinguished only by its smaller dimensions of an ordinary rigged vessel. The pin shaft had quite a high bow and two decks. The lower of the two (the overflow) was continuous over the entire length. The upper deck (deck) was divided in a slightly reduced-container with an increased forecastle deck. Then came a portion of the deck that ran until the shot stuurplecht, behind the booth again was slightly lower. The high parapet of the open deck hides all sharp edges, so it is a very balanced boat. Regardless of their size had the vessels of this type three masts, the foremast, where the bowsprit leaned on the forecastle deck; the bowsprit was a blind ra with blind and above blind; the mainmast, before which stood the large hatch and the mizzen mast and behind the madness stick, which ran through deck and quarterdeck.

flute The flute is a relatively narrow vessel with a flat bottom and, as opposed to mirror vessels, around a poop. The type was probably originated in Horn around 1595. As the Sound toll was calculated according to a formula in which the width of the deck and the cavity on the neck of the ship played a role, the whistling of the 17th century were built with strong overtaken cuffs. An additional benefit was that the high inwardly extending sides made it not easy for pirates to board. On the ships to the East, however, conduct that was a big disadvantage, because on that route dried up the sides so that the caulk fell and the heat inside the ship was unbearable out. In 1669, however, was introduced a new calculation and from then on the cover of the flutes were gradually wider. The flute had three masts. The mainmast and foremast each had two square sails, two trapezoid-shaped and almost equal in size. Both masts were higher than usual, so there was conducted a considerable sail area. The mizzen mast tall ship had a lateen, the bowsprit blind sailing. A galleon sailing lacked the whistle on the North almost invariably, but which had left a hole, the timber port, causing their timber load could be loaded. The flute ships were built for the zuidelijkerroutes usually did get a galleon ship and more ornamental. The narrow deck with short walking distances, simple sail plan and practical design of standing and running rigging flute made a very good sail with a small crew ship. The armament of the flute was mainly set up defensive. The ship had guns usually only a few pieces, usually on the overloopdek. Stern offered by shape and layout little opportunity for drawing heavier pieces. Because of the cargo the ship was a potential target. The highly indented edges of the vessel hampered any attempts enter. Should this nevertheless happen, the staffing gardening could retreat to poop and bakverblijf. All hatches and doors were reinforced with iron bands and could be locked from the inside. Embrasures, crosswise arranged in poop and bucket, made it possible to defend the crew themselves with muskets against enemies on the narrow deck. The flute was used extensively during the entire existence of the VOC period, both for travel between the Netherlands and the East Indies as the link between the trading posts in the East. During this type was built over two centuries without fundamental improvements were needed. The main changes in the course of time were the introduction of a cross sail, royals and staysails, to further increase the rate on long journeys. A development of the flute is the little finger. Click for a list of flute ships sailed for the Dutch East India Company.

The 'Transorm Return Ship' was the main type of transport ship V.O.C.s, a sailing ship for transport of goods and people. Also, the ships were armed with the same type of gun as the warships of the Republic, only a smaller number. Also their appearance differed ships not much of each other.

The V.O.C.s There were three classes of mirror return ships. The largest class was a ship with a length of 42.25 meters (150 foot Amsterdam), the middle class had a length of 39.05 meters (138 feet) and the smallest class 36.8 meters (130 feet). Later, in 1626, there was a class for 45.28 meters (160 feet) in Zeeland and only an exception was made for larger vessels, 48.11 meters (170 feet).

The word "mirror" would be derived from the shape of the flat back of an S-shaped ship. [Source?] The shape of the rear resembles a hand mirror from that time.https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiegelretourschip
