The widow and companions of the deceased Johan Munsterman to Bremen: state that Joachim Kolling has acquired a license for the harbour Kummerwage in Iceland by exploiting their bad luck, since they have lost a ship three times, and therefore were not able to visit the harbour in the last three years, although they have sailed there for over 100 years, and that therefore Kolling has no right to trade there.
