Page on Greenland Whale Fishery and Dutch gains
The excerpt discusses the Greenland whale fishery and attributes major control to the Hollanders led by Pinschornee and Bremers. It cites de facto Dutch dominance in fisheries and trade, tracing shifts from Flemish to Dutch hands due to Spanish tyranny, and provides figures of ships sent to Greenland in 1670 to 1722, plus estimated whale catch and value in guilders and pounds. It notes Hamburg and Bremen as secondary powers expanding due to profits.
