M. van Tielhof, Hansische Geschichtsblatter, 2005. "...a major contribution to historical study...a distinguished demonstration of scholarship and a major contribution to the field of maritime history..." John B. Hattendorf, International Journal of Maritime History. "...important contribution to early modern maritime history...Highly recommended." G.D. Homan, Choice, 2005.
