I was indeed very happy. Very good questions I thought. I think my point is not that we should be surprised about Dutch ships, but dismissing them as “only the carrying trade” ignores how essential they were for the Barbados credit market (I think? I need to finetune it a bit still)

Ugh, aging brain forgot that a similar situation may have existed in Virginia (as Mijn Heer Klooster, oddly, recognized)!

Splendid. Yes, I don't know how aware other attendees were of the rivalry here. I have come to suspect after your paper that Thomson and Crew were aware of these other connexions and moved accordingly (the timing is right anyway). Would very much like to discuss.
