Colors of Danish ships


Recommended Posts

I'm building Mamoli's Friesland (Dutch 80 gunner from 1663) and I'm wondering what color scheme was used on Dutch ships of this era.  I remember reading that the Dutch lion was red, but that's about all I know.  Does anybody have any knowledge about this, or perhaps give me a reference that I can look up?  I'm especially interested in the colors of the metal decorations.

 

Thanks,

Steve J
