This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

Not linked. The "forecastle" described in the link bears no resemblance to the large, raised, temporary fighting platform installed fore and aft on late-Medieval merchant ships, to the extent that I would consider linking to be misleading. There doesn't seem to be an article on these. Or even, that I can find, any mention of them in articles where you would expect to find it. When writing this article I considered writing one on Castle (nautical), but I don't enjoy writing on technical hardware. I have expanded the mention to a brief (sourced) description?
I don't follow what seems to me to be the habit of inserting near random commas towards the start of sentences. Unless they are otherwise required. If you tell me that it is a Wikipedia requirement I will insert them with extreme reluctance. (Although to an extent I will be guessing where they are supposed to go.) It fits no system of grammar or punctuation I have encountered pre-Wikipedia, although I confess that it is a large minority in Wikipedia. (When doing GOCE copy edits I would estimate that 25-30% of articles I have encountered use it. I tend to just let it lie and have not, yet, had complaints. That said I have often just ripped them out, and not had complaints either.)
I am not sure where you are referring to. Do you mean at the start of the sentence "Damme is located on the estuary of the Zwyn, now largely silted up."?
Depends who you asked. It was complicated and records are not clear. To put it mildly. I tried inserting "... the friendly port of..." but it read clunkily. Seems a bit off topic to go into too much detail in the aftermath.Rewritten, reference added. I think that it reads more coherently now.
No idea. They turn up when I use {{cite EB1911....
You can't do that with a {{cite EB1911... template. If you do they don't show. See current version of the article. If I change to {{cite encyclopedia... the ES1911 guys are likely to change it - see talk on Battle of Sluys)
That's me done, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 06:49, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, contains no plagiarism, and is illustrated by appropriately licensed images with appropriate captions. Passing. Nice work! Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 00:34, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
