Bill Jackson Posted August 12, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2023 Hi guys, I have found plenty of data on Mast Spars and Rigging sizes on English galleons, but little or no data on Spanish Galleons 1500 - 1800. Can anyone provide me with any reference material on this topic? Thanks in advance, Bill mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted August 12, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2023 Portuguese rather than Spanish, and I don't know whether it contains info on masts, spars and rigging, but you might try the Livro de Traças de Carpintaria of 1616 - https://shiplib.org/index.php/collections/historical-sources/treatises-on-shipbuilding/livro-de-tracas-de-carpintaria-portugal/ - but it is in Portuguese . . . mtaylor and allanyed 2 Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Bill Jackson Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted August 14, 2023 Louie thank you for your response and you are correct. Infortunately I only speak one language, and its not Spanish. I could not find this version in English. Also it it my understanding from my readings that this 1st treaties was superceded 4 years later by still another treaties. And 4 years after that by another one. Anyway, I'll keep looking amd trying to make sense of this crazyness. ))) Regards, Bill mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Belco Posted August 23, 2023 Solution Share #6 Posted August 23, 2023 You can find information on Spanish shipbuilding at the following link: https://independent.academia.edu/CayetanoHormaecheaArenaza It is the work of some well-known Spanish modelers. The problem is the language, but there are web pages capable of translating a PDF for you Regards mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
