17th century was not really that long ago in Europe in the grand scheme of things, surely we have a great deal of information already without this bringing some new revelation?
To suggest we do not already have a wealth of information on how 17th century ships were built in Holland just sounds a joke, when the Dutch have a huge history of shipping expertise that's world renowned.
