Holland:
The list of ships hired by the Admiralty of Amsterdam, apparently in early 1652
The list of ships in the document sent me by Jan Glete is very striking. Included are ships that are usually thought of as purpose-built warships. The document is convincing, as it gives the amounts paid to hire the ships. The ships were all part of the "Extraordinary Equipage", the 100 ships to be hired by the five Admiralties in 1652. These are the large ships included in the document, in this order:
Name Guns Crew Captain
Star 28 90 Jacob Paulusz Cort
Edam 30 90 Barent Cramer
Hollandia 32 90 Albert de Graeff
Hoop 28 90 Joris Collerij (one of many spellings)
Goude Leeuw 24 75 Gillis Thyssen Campen
Marcus Curtius 24 70 Hendrick Kroeger
Hollandsce Tuin 24 70 Hillebrandt Jeroenssen (Jeroenszoon)
Patientia 24 70 Adriaan van Loenen
Catharina 24 70 Dirck Bogaert
Keijser 24 70 Jan ter Stegen
Hoop 24 70 Wolphert van Brederode
Aartsengel Michiel 40 120 Emmanuel Zalingen
Campen 40 120 Joris van der Zaan
Engel Gabriel 36 120 Isaac Sweers
Drie Coningen 36 120 Lucas Albertszoon (Albertssen)

The first ship in history is credited to India.

We don't know. That's lost to antiquity. The first ship was probably just a bigger bigger boat, and we've had boats for more than 40,000 years.
