Notes
In 1794 arrived to Cadiz the dutch ship of the line Overijssel in his way to East Dutch possesions. Unable to continue his trip, all his crew and guns were transfered to San Felipe Apostol, renaming the ship as new Overijssel and departed.
Later, was captured by british Polyphemus (64) at Cork Harbour, october 22nd, 1795.
