Eliassen writes that "As a resident merchant, the only one of his kind at that time, he could buy and sell goods after the sailing season was over in the autumn, and before the East Indiamen arrived from Europe in the summer. In this way, he could exploit the market forces of availability and demand, selling European goods when prices were high and buying Indian wares (mostly textiles) when prices were low, building up a stock for export in the low season. This secured both a quick turnaround of the ships sent out to India by his partner Henrik Bolte, and maximum profits, both on the European and Indian cargoes" (Eliassen, 56). It seems inevitable that whilst Peter Dahl was in India, in Bengal, he must have met [[Duntzfelt, Christian Wilhelm]] who worked for the Asiatic Company then as kopist before D. set out to Copenhagen in 1788.

 According to Eliassen, Peter Dahl was "infamous (and disliked) among his crew for his stinginess in providing them with necessities", which Dahl himself referred to as his "Oeconomie" as a skipper (Eliassen, 54). This Eliassen argues could explain why hs crews usually consisted of all-new sailors etc. (Eliassen, 54)

-Around 1770, he had an official address in Strandgade, opposite the Asiatic Company headquarters, which he maintained throughout the 1770s. At some point in 1775, however, he actually lived in a lodging-house in Sundbyvester, before he sailed to the East Indies (Eliassen, 58). Around 1786, he rented an apartment in Frederiksstaden, in Amaliegade (matrikulis no. 71), where he lived in 1787, at the time of the second census of Copenhagen (link to [http://ddd.dda.dk/soeg_person_enkel.asp Folketælling, Copenhagen, 1787)]. At Amaliegade 71, he lived with eight other people: a ''litteratus'' (an educated man, a teacher), a female housekeeper, two female servants, a male servant, a male ''gaardskarl'', as well as two enslaved black men (referred to as ''negere'') [http://ddd.dda.dk/soeg_person_enkel.asp Folketælling, Copenhagen, 1787)]. The two enslaved men had been brought to Copenhagen from Bengal, where Peter Dahl also gave them their freedom. The two young men, [[Benedictus, Joseph]] who was 20 years old in 1787 and [[Pius, Isaak]] who was 18 years old in 1787 (both from "Mosambik", were both baptised at Garnisonskirken in Copenhagen, by [[Treschow, Herman]] (Eliassen, 63). The two freed men then were taken on as apprentices as shipbuilders in the naval dockyard at Holmen (Eliassen, 63). In 1788, following the bankruptcy of [[Bolte, Henrich]], Peter Dahl brought Bolte's mansion in Gothersgade, then and now known as Baron Bolten's Gaard. Dahl had the mansion redecorated and refurbished, and he died there in 1789, only 41 years old (Eliassen, 59)
