«There are about 100 sail of Spaniards who come to take cod, who make it all wet and dry... As touching their tonnage I think it may be 5,000 or 6,000. Of Portugals there are not above fifty or sixty sail, whose tonnage may amount to 5,000, and they make all wet.» Citado pelo reverendo George Patterson na excellente memoria que publicou nas Trans-Roy. Soc. Canada, e que se intitula The Portuguese in the North-East coast of America, and the first European attempt at Colonization there. A lost chapter in American History, pag. 145. Esta memoria foi lida na Royal Society a 28 de maio de 1890.
