* This interval between 1009 and 1678, consists only of 7 voyages instead of 10, as, in the years 10 ('2, 1673, and 1674, a French war prevented the prosecution of the fishery. 



Note. — The annual amount of advances, col. 3., is calculated in this Table, according to Wagenaar, after the rate of 1 0,000/. per ship. Zorgdrager's estimation is 12,447/. per ship (page 150.) j 

 'lit in this sum is included 4924/. for the first cost of casks, boats, and other stores for the fishery, only a small part of which require.5 to be renewed every year. Hence, though the expences of a ship, 

 on her first voyage, were really 12,000 to 13,000/. ; yet, on future voyages, it vfould be reduced by the value of that proportion of store?, not lequiring annual renewal, to about the same as Wagenaar's ei- 

 'imation. or 10,000/. ^jer shipper annum.
