Zecchino had received sea-loans as finance for the voyage and he set out aboard the Madonna delle Concettione for the Barbary Coast with these loans in order to buy goods there. The boat was stuck in Tripoli for 6 months as the result of an uprising of the peoples of the interior against the inhabitants of the city. When they had finally left Tripoli they were taken by a Barbary corsair and taken back to Tripoli: the ship suffered damage and had to free themselves again. Then in Trapani their cargo was sequestered because it was claimed that the cargo was French. The captain and crew were put in prison and they had to go to court to liberate the boat. They were there for 10 months. When they departed they had to pay a bribe.

Though the testimoniale doesn’t mention any further stops, the calcolo claims expenses for being held up in Bonagia and Palermo as well as Trapani. It was discovered that at some point there captors, African or Sicilian had stolen some cargo. When they got back to Livorno quarantine times had gone up from 20 days to 40 days, meaning 20 more days of expenses than would have been the case had the ship not been delayed. The freighter requests that those who have assumed the risk, i.e. those who have made the sea-loans, should come together in average along with the master who will contribute a half of the value of the ship and a third of the cargo.
