"De prophet Samuel verwezenlijkte van augustus 1654 tot juli 1655 een bom van 61,8 %. Het Hamburgs schip den Salvador leverde 29 tot 46 % winst op per jaar, maar het is een uitzondering voor de Hamburgse schepen der firma. Nicholas de Groote had reden tot klagen. Zowei het schip van Hermans als dat van Peter Tam gaven meer kosten dan uitkeringen "Het is best dat man van sulke schippers siet te kommen, want sy varen..." See also pp.373 & 358 for entries on Pete Tam [EDITORIAL NOTE: Baetens appears to have primary source material in the Felxi Archief relating to a number of Hamburg ships on the Mediterranean rout (Cadiz, Genua, elsewhere) in the 1640s and 1650s, and has been able to calculate ship returns on capital]

"De Gulden Sonne van Peter Tam was 200 last groot en telde 28 stukken geschut zoals het schip Salvador...."

"De gulden Sonne, schipper Peter Tam, ondeneemt zelfs van uit Cadix in september 1647 een reis naar Buenos..."

"Raadpleeg bijlage IV: in 1642 zeilt de Sint-Jan Baptista, schipper Heyndrik Beck, van Hamburg naar Marseille en vervolgens nach Genua. In 1646 volgt de Verguide Maen van Jacob Faes derzelfde route. Michiel en Thomas Uttenholt varen ook op Genua. Uit verzekerinspolissen (IB 1598) blijkt dat de Gulden Sonne van Peter Tam in 1655 de verbinding verzekert tussen Genua en Cadiz, evenals zijn brower (?) Jaspar Tam op de Sterre en in 1660 Jorge Tam op de Hope. Die is in tgenspraak wat F.BRAUDEL beweert, e.c...."
