This collection is composed of shipping documents from historic accounts, books and archives. This is a goldmine of digital documents, images and old maps. Our DVD contains archival material which provides a broad context of the history of navigation and exploration. Documents concerning ship’s officers, crew, and inventories, some from copies of private archives made in the 17th and 18th century contains extensive documentation dealing with spanish fleet instructions, shipboard armament, and provisioning. They are more easily accessed here as most of the records have been carefully inventoried and cross-indexed.
Documents from historic accounts, books and archives verify that in 17th and 18th century the Spanish had been witness to the many spanish ships disaster. Over the years we have identified a large amount of shipwrecks, captains' logs, eyewitness accounts and manifests from private archives. The treasure fleets, called flotas, first sailed into history and legend in the 16th century, when Spain’s powerful, royally controlled Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) ordered merchant ships to travel in convoy, guarded by armed warships. Colonists could legally trade only with merchantmen cleared by the House of Trade. Most of the authorized trade was bestowed upon the flota, which numbered from 30 to 90 ships, depending on the flow of trade and the size of the naval escort.
When a ship went down, her name often vanished with her. The sea soon destroyed manifests, logs, and other papers. Shipworms devoured wooden objects that could be identifying. Marine archaeologists can still learn from wrecks, however.
