 Three large ships (The ''Salvador'', the ''Sampson'' and the ''Saint George'') of supposedly Lubeck and Hamburg build and ownership were captured by the English in 1652 with highly valuable cargos of bullion. The ships were on their way from Cadiz with bullion from the Spanish West Indies going northwards. It was disputed in court as to whether the ships were bound legally for the Spanish Netherlands, or illegally for Amsterdam.
-The case was endowed with political as well as commercial weight - the Protectorate was keen to have the bullion declared lawfull prize, but the Spanish government contested this. The many and varied court depositions and other English Admiralty (and English State Paper) records give very granular and highly colourful accounts of Seville and Cadiz, Hamburg and Lubeck, the Spanish Netherlands, the by-ways between the Spanish Netherlands and Amsterdam by which bullion could be smuggled overland and by canal, and the River Thames, where the ships and sailors were held following seizure.  Thomas Violet, a rather dodgy goldsmith, was involved as an agitator on benhalf of the protectorate, and published a pamphlet pleading for reimbursement of his efforst, which supplements the HCA material on the MarineLives wiki

 To be developed, but will require extensive searches of the MarineLives wiki using pre-identified (but flexible) search terms to discover, catalogue and synthesise material on a range of aspects of ship economics to better understand (a) capital costs (b) operating costs (c) revenues and other income (d) returns.
-Implicit in the methodology will be an economic model of voyage and ship based economics. I have done a good bit of thinking about such a model, but this would now benefit from being tested with a few other interested people. It would also benefit from some contextual reading of early and mid-C17th accounting and marine instruction manuals and other practical and theoretical material from early/mid-C17th sources regarding accounting conventions and return on capital and other return measures.
