Captured ship: St John of Gothenburg otherwise St John of Amsterdam, master Johannes Willemsen Loyle.
History: bound first in September 1666 from Amsterdam north-about to Sao Tome ("the Island St Thomas lying under the Aequator inhabited by the Portugees"), calling first at the Dutch factory at Axim on the coast of Guinea; and back from Sao Tome laden with sugar and with packets of letters and papers, stopping in Bergen for five weeks for fear of Scottish privateers but left on 19 August with a convoy under three Dutch men-of-war only to meet six English frigates south of the Dogger Bank; during the fight, the St John and a Zealand ship from the West Indies tried to escape, but the St John was taken on 24 August 1667 by HMS Oxford (William Basse commanding) and brought into Hull.
