Dutch commandeur in the Davis Strait whale-fishery Arid Medendorp 1753

In the next years I intended to supply more biographical details dealing with this commandeur and his director(s) and the ships he commanded. Sailed for director Jacob Alewyn Gysen of Amsterdam with as results ½ whale, 20 barrels of whale-blubber and 29 quardelen train-oil.
