A Plague of Ships: Spanish Ships and Shipbuilding in the Atlantic Colonies, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Year: 2002 Language: english Author: Chuck Meide Genre: History Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 44 Description: The first sailing ship built in the New World resulted from one of its earliest recorded maritime disasters. Having lost three ships to hurricane on his second voyage, Columbus—who had possessed the foresight to bring shipwrights with him to the settlement of Isabela—had the 50-ton caravel Santa Cruz constructed from their broken timbers in the summer of 1495. Designed as a sister ship to Niña (who had successfully weathered the storm), she was quickly given the appropriate moniker India by her Spanish seamen, and safely reached Cádiz a year later on 11 June 1496 In Columbus’ absence, two more caravels (caravelas) were built under the direction of his brother Bartolomé to facilitate communication between the nascent settlements. But after their construction, there is little if any mention of New World shipbuilding for some time. This does not mean, of course, that vessels weren’t being built in the early colonization period. The importance of ships for intra- and interisland navigation was immediately realized by the first Spanish settlers in the New World, a fact recognized by King Fernando in a 1508 cédula granting citizens of Española the right to own ships
