What would be a good ship to use as a Dutch ship 1610-1640 period that explorers/merchants might use along the North American coast?

A Dutch Fluyt.

Bark or Tartana/tartane. I'd do some research on sail rigs. In the New World the tartane was often single masted.

Shifting Lands in The Netherlands do a "botter" coastal boat, but it's likely too small for gaming and ordering from SL is a bit of an odd experience.

+1 Thresher, but the Fluyt is more ocean going. Not so much a coaster.

I was looking at B&P's fluyt as it is a Dutch ship.This is more for a diorama than game playing.

The fluyt was canonically Dutch, and ubiquitous across the world's oceans. It's hard to find anything more "Dutch" at sea.

Plus the fluyt that Firelock Games makes is Bee-utiful.

Some years ago a replica of the barque 'Duyfken' (Little Dove) visited this city's port, and I, along with hundreds of others (but not all at the same time) had a wander around it. It was armed – with a number of swivel guns, as I recall.

The original ship was used by Willem Janszoon on his explorations of the northern Australian coast in 1606.

I will probably get the fluyt.
