		The core of Amsterdam’s historic buildings was built during the Golden age: the Zuiderkerk (1603-1611), the Noorderkerk (1620-1623) and the Westerkerk (1620-1631) as well as the town hall (now Royal Palace) in the Dam Square (1648-1655).
		Moreover, Amsterdam’s outward appearance was largely determined by its many spires: the Westertoren (1638) and the decorative spires built by Hendrick de Keyser such as the Montelbaanstoren (1606) and the Munttoren (1620).

		The ship carried an armament of 40 guns, made up of 10 iron 12-pounders, 2 bronze 8-pounders, 18 iron 8-pounders, and 10 smaller guns (the latter including bassen, small breech-loading swivel guns).The two bronze 8-pounders were probably the pair of guns mounted under the half-deck nearest the compasses, common VOC practice to reduce deviation.
		The ship left Amsterdam in late October 1711 and negotiated the shoal waters of the Zuider Zee to Texel, where-as was customary-she took on the bulk of her heavy cargo and stores.
