The Dutch ship San Giovanni set off from Archangelsk with a cargo of cavier and hides. At some point near England it ran into a storm that lasted eight days. Then somewhere near Alicante it ran into a storm that lasted five or six days. This storm was so severe that the captain was forced to cut the main mast and several crew members were injured in the process, requiring medicines and in one case an amputation. The ship then had to make land on the beach of ‘Logaro novo’ – here some ropes were damaged from friction against the rocks caused by heavy weather.

Once the voyage had been resumed there was a third storm around the Golfo di Leone, causing damage to the hull. In the event, the damage to the hull was not put into the average, which is what would be expected given that this damage had not been incurred as part of a voluntary sacrifice. The claim was for the value mast and all its appurtanances, as well as money for medicines to treat injuries and compensation for the man with the amputated leg, and the money paid to the master carpenter and other people who had helped the boat in time of need (though it is not clear at which point in the voyage this help was received: whether this was the master carpenter who assessed the ship at Livorno, or whether these were people who had assisted as some point during the voyage).
