 William Talmage stated that he went ship's carpenter on the ''Oporto Merchant'' on a voyage from London to Lisbon and back. As carpenter, he helped to stow diverse chests of sugar and diverse pipes and hogsheads of oil at Lisbon for transport back to London. But he had no knowledge of any freight or average to be paid on the goods.
-Again, as carpenter, he attested to the strength and stauchness of the ship, having helped to dennage the ship and to stow the goods that were laden. He stated that the ship was well supplied with ballast and bavins laid upon the ballast. He added in answer to an interrogatory that "the shipp was dennaged with ballast and bavins to the quantitie

He stated that the ship was well supplied with ballast and bavins laid upon the ballast. He added in answer to an interrogatory that "the shipp was dennaged with ballast and bavins to the quantitie of seaven or eight inches above the keeleson". Most of the sugar was stowed "abaft the mayne mast and some of it upon the dennage and other some of it upon the oyles".<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.256r Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.256r]]</ref>

 However, the ship experienced very stormy and tempestuous weather en route to London, and was at great risk of her masts being carried over board. Indeed she split her mizen mast. He was convinced that without the storm the cargo wopuld have been brought home "well conditioned".<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.255v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.255v]]</ref>
-Talmage assisted at the unlading of the goods in London, but claimed (whether believable or not) that he "tooke noe notice (it not belonging to his office in the sayd shipp) to whome it belonged or to whome it was delivere, or in what condition the ladeing was at the delivery thereof". He had received all his wages "for him selfe and servant" except eleven pounds " sixe pounds whereof the sayd Joseph Careswell the master of the sayd shipp doth deteyne in his hands till hee receaves his freight, and see what dammage will bee recovered against him by his freighters".<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.255v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.255v]]</ref>

 Describing the impact of the storm, Talmage stated that "before the storme it was necessary and usuall to pumpe the shipp three howers in a day or thereabouts and after the storme shee stood neede to be pumped five howers in a day or thereabouts and was pumped soe long at least every day till shee came into the River of Thames".<ref>[[HCA 13/72 f.256v Annotate|HCA 13/72 f.256v]]</ref>
