"It's Monday! Let's start of the week with a map & some eels!

Here is John Speed's 1611 map, "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland."  There are Dutch eel ships on this map. Can you find them? (the answer is at the end of the thread)

Wait, you ask...WTF is an eel ship? 1/5"

  "A map of of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. It is quite busy with roads, and towns, and counties. There are monsters in the sea, and several ships. There are 2 large insets, one showing the a view of the city of London and one showing the city of Edinburgh. There is a smaller inset above the Edinburgh one showing the northern tip of Scotland and the Orkneys. Above the inset for London is the coat of arms for the Order of the Garter, with a lion and unicorn. The arms have the order's motto around them: "honi soit qui mal y pense" (shame on him that thinks ill of it), and below it the popular Puritan phrase, "Semper Idem" (always the same). It is a very detailed and pretty map.
  
  "Always the same" and "shame on him that thinks ill of it" is strident rejection of the Growth Mindset ideology, and I am here for it."
