PREFACE Indo - Portuguese maritime history is relatively a new field of study. Portugal was the first European power to dominate the Eastern seas by bringing under their control key eastern trading ports like Ormuz, Malacca and Goa. Ormuz and Malacca slipped out from their hands but Goa continued to be an important port of the Portuguese in the East. The Portuguese naval operations at this port merits a detailed study on account of the role it played in the consolidation of their power in the Orient. The present work probes into various issues relating to the Portuguese shipping and shipbuilding operations in Goa from 1510 - 1780. In the preparation of this work, I was helped by many scholars and other persons. This study was first initiated under the guidance of Late Prof.

  • The Twelve Apostles: Design, Construction, and Function Of
    THE TWELVE APOSTLES: DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND FUNCTION OF LATE 16TH-CENTURY SPANISH GALLEONS A Dissertation by JOSE LUIS CASABAN BANACLOCHA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cemal Pulak Committee Members, Kevin Crisman James Bradford Donny Hamilton Head of Department, Cynthia Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 José Luis Casabán Banaclocha ABSTRACT The development of the Spanish galleon as a specialized warship took place in Spain during the 16th century. A series of prototypes built in Spain in that century incorporated concepts and technological solutions from both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic maritime traditions, and became the basis for this new type of vessel. The Spanish galleon was designed in response to changes in Atlantic trade routes at the beginning of the 16th century when, as a result of Spanish transoceanic expansion, new and more specialized vessels were needed for both the coastal defense of Spain and its overseas territories, as well as to escort the oceanic fleets. In November 1588, King Philip II of Spain ordered the construction of 12 new galleons of 500, 600, and 800 toneladas, four ships of each tonnage, specifically designed as warships. These galleons were to replace the losses that occurred after the failure of the Spanish Armada against England, since the chronic Spanish shortage of warships was aggravated by the loss of some of the best naval units. This decision marked the beginning of the largest shipbuilding program attempted in Spain until that moment.

  • Chapter 8 SEVILLE and the PACIFIC
    Chapter 8 SEVILLE AND THE PACIFIC el´ hace del tiempo una nave y dirige este siglo al oceano,´ al ancho y sonoro Pac´ıfico, sembrado por los archipielagos´ ... Lord del mar, la cadena espanola˜ nos cierra los ojos! Lord del mar, nos amarra los suenos˜ la noche espanola!˜ Seville: bases and fleets Seville’sshipswereconfinedtotheNorthAtlantic;notsohermercantile empire, which was powerful enough to secure the absolute suppression (at least in official theory) of the flourishing and economically rational commerce between New Spain and Peru. It is true that the happy coincidence of China’s thirst for silver and New Spain’s argentiferous profusion, with the profits so made, enabled Mexico and Manila to stand up against Seville’s pressures, despite their own conflict of interests as buyer and seller; but they were always on an uneasy defensive, compelled to justify their tampering with the sacred principles of Sevillean monopoly. Lima had no autonomous outreach on the scale of the Acapulco Galleon trade—its tentative efforts at direct Peruvian-Philippine contact were quashed, since here the interests of New and Old Spain were in alliance; Callao was, however, the focus of a thalassic commerce whose extreme reaches were at Acapulco and Concepcion. Again, Seville restricted almost to nothingness any legal outlet from Peru to the Atlantic by La Plata, logical as such an alternative outlet might seem on the map. All routes—that is, all legal routes—led sooner or later to Seville and its outports, whose domination was based initially on solid advantages of location and tradition, backed by international capital (especially Genoese) and the interests of local magnates such as the Dukes of Medina Sidonia.1 The Andalusian control was exercised through the elaborate machinery of the Casa de Contratacion and the Consulado or Merchants’ Guild.

  • The Basque Seal Trade with Labrador in the Seventeenth Century
    The Basque Seal Trade with Labrador in the Seventeenth Century Javi Castro For 250 years, from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century, about 3,000 Basque sailors on average spent the summer in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to fish for cod, hunt whales, trade pelts, and engage in the fish trade with sedentary communities. Between 70 per cent and 90 per cent of crews came to fish — a proportion that varied mainly because other Basque activities rose and fell, as a function of the historical conditions they depended on.1 Among these sec- ondary activities, the seal hunt is perhaps the least known. In the Basque sources we have studied, sealing and the seal economy are documented from 1603 to 1661. Especially, the port registers of Deba and Mutriku, in western Gipuzkoa, reveal several steps in the trans- atlantic seal trade, from the outfitting of voyages to Labrador to the fabrication of specialized footwear for sailors. We also see crews from Donostia–San Sebastián and Saint-Jean-de-Luz in search of seal in Labrador and the Magdalene Islands, while Gipuzkoan tanners ex- ported their finished sealskins as far afield as Lisbon, in Portugal. The Basque seal trade may have included the Labrador Inuit, and if so it would provide a context for the oral tradition, still much alive in the Basque Country, of relations between Basques and Inuit in the seven- teenth century.2 The Basque seal trade sheds new light on the history of the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence during the century before its integration into New France.

  • Eastern Shores and Southern Lands
    Chapter 5 EASTERN SHORES AND SOUTHERN LANDS ... the Spaniard from the east, His flickering canvas breaking the horizon That shuts the dead off in a wall of mist. ‘Three hundred years since I set out from Lima And off Esp´ıritu Santo lay down and wept Because no faith in men, no truth in islands And still unfound the shining continent slept; ‘And swore upon the Cross to come again Though fever, thirst and mutiny stalked the seas And poison spiders spun their webs in Spain. ...’ The Californias: Cerme˜no and Vizcaino Unamuno’s voyage of 1587 in search of Rica de Oro was no more productive on the eastern shores of the Pacific than in its western waters. He did find a new port, San Lucas, near the present San Luis Obispo, but this seems to have made no impression on the authorities: the current Viceroy of New Spain, Manrique, was simply not interested, although the projected voyage of Juan de la Isla in 1572 and Gali’s actual one of 1584 had certainly envisaged exploring the American coast north of 35–40◦N.1 The younger Luis de Velasco, Viceroy in 1590, was however much concerned with the sickness and privations normal in the latter stages of the Galleon passage, and secured authority to investigate this coast to see if there might not be some fit port of succour. To this end the Portuguese Sebastian Rodriguez Cermeno˜ sailed from Manila in the 200-ton San Agustin on 5 July 1595. Cermeno’s˜ first objective was Cape Mendocino, which seems to have been known from a disastrous Galleon crossing in 1584.2 On 6 November, two days after his landfall somewhat north of the Cape, he was at Drake’s Bay, which he named Bahia de San Francisco—one may be sure with no intention of a compliment to his predecessor, who was in these waters sixteen years earlier.

THERE are points at which history and geography meet, and where history provides material that geography alone can weave into shape. In the case of the destruction of the Spanish Armada by Atlantic seas, chiefly on the west coast of Ireland, the event was of such supreme importance in itself, and occupies such a prominent place in history and in the imagination of the British people, that I may be pardoned if I assume that every detail that can be found out as to the wrecks of the ships is worthy of record.
