The list of the captains of the Flanders galleys derived from the Farsetti MS. is not always in accordance with the entries in the registers of the Senate. The superabundance of names may be variously accounted for; some allowance must be made for resignations and deaths. The vice-captains may occasionally be confounded with the captains, and the ancient style of commencing the year on the 1st March may explain the mistake of supposing that galleys of the State performed the Flanders voyage more than once in the same year. There is no doubt that all the persons named in the Farsetti MS. were appointed to commands in the Flanders fleet, and, except in the rare cases of death and resignation, actually visited our shores.

The above quoted MS. is considered very valuable and of great authority; it belonged to a collection which was made in the middle of the last century by the commander of Malta, Tommaso Giuseppe Farsetti, who in 1792 bequeathed all his manuscripts to St. Mark's Library, where they are now preserved.
