==Biographical synthesis==
Johnon Tomsen (b. ca. 1635; d. ?). Mariner.

Master of the ship the ''Catherine'', a ship of eight tuns burthen. Resident in 1656 in Shadwell.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
Twenty-one year old Johon Tomsen deposed on May 29th 1656 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined "On the behalfe of Henry Baldero, William Harris and John Shephard English merchants touching the shipp the ''Catherine'', John Thompson master."<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.210v Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.210v]]</ref>

The ''Catherine'' was bought by Henry Baldero, William Harris and John Shephard at Rotterdam in March 1656 from a Mr Lambert Schaep, and cost 3000 guilders. Johon Tomsen (despite his curious spelling of his name) claimed to be an Englishman, and to have been the ship's master ever since she was purchased.<ref>[[HCA 13/71 f.211r Annotate|HCA 13/71 f.211r]]</ref>
