Bremen

Excerpt from Peter Koster’s chronicle of Bremen, in which is described how the merchants trading with Bergen expected five ships to return in November and December 1685, of which only one returned to Bremen, with much of its cargo having become wet, whereas two other ships wrecked in a heavy storm and the two remaining were wrecked in Shetland, from which the Bergen merchants suffered heavy losses amounting to 30 thousand Reichsthaler.
