Introduction

Goods from Western Africa and West-India were stored in warehouses in Middelburg. All stored goods were noted in a warehouse book. The return goods from The Unity were auctioned off on various dates in Middelburg. Everything was offered for sale, even the packaging. The profits of the sold items was also noted. This happened in a profit and loss account. The crew was paid their wages. After this journey the snow ship The Unity would make two more triangle voyages.
