Cordt Basse, Hans Schomaker, Hans Hering and Hans Lindeman to Hamburg: request for a combined license for two harbours in Iceland, namely Wapenforde, formerly used by Paul Lindeman, father of Hans, and Dureshave in Langenes, formerly used by the others, because both harbours are too close to each other to sail there with two ships.

Hamburg

Hamburg to king Christian IV of Denmark: request for renewal of the licenses for the harbours Wapenforde and Dureshave in Langenes in Iceland on behalf of Cordt Basse, Hans Schomaker, Hans Hering, and Hans Lindeman. It is also requested to merge the two licenses, as it is better to sail there with one large ship than with two small ones, for protection against pirates.
