Life at Sea: Service Record, 1406-1411 (p. 91-2a)

This is the second page of Michael's service record, listing his voyages and officers from 1406 to 1411. The document shows how Michael alternated between voyages in commercial and military fleets. Michael was not simply assigned to these fleets; each year he went down to the Piazza San Marco in Venice to enlist of his own free will.
