German whalers successful according to the Dutch newspaper Nederlandsche staatscourant dated 1 July 1822

An item dated Hamburg, Germany 24th June reported that the first ship returned on the 20th from the whale and seal hunting off Greenland. She arrived with full cargo holds at Gluckstadt bringing with her very satisfying tidings from other ships from the Elbe area. While the hunting was the last years very worse were just 3 ships fitted out at Gluckstadt.
