1733-10-27 - Roll Book signed for an expedition to Tranquebar under captain Thaae, Claus. Vice Captain was Muncheberg, Claus and the chaplain was Sundt, Michael. Crew consisted of 22 officers and NCOs, 30 sailors, two apprentices and 12 Opløbere, one of those named Thaae, Benjamin and likely related to the captain. Total crew of 66 seems very small for such a large ship. (RA: Roll Books)
