Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book, the product of twenty-seven years of research, relates the romantic history of the great Spanish galleons, the most glamorous in the history of the seas. For two hundred and fifty years--from 1565 to 1815--they regularly made the five-to-eight month voyage across the Pacific between Manila and Acapulco. The largest and richest merchant ships of their age, the galleons carried to Mexico all the fabulous luxuries of the Orient and returned to the Philippines laden with silver ingots. Their capture was the ultimate ambition of every pirate and privateer. Many were lost as sea; one drifted down the Mexican coast without a living soul on board; the mutiny on the San Geronimo surpassed in drama that on the Bounty. But this is more than a story of ships, for the whole history of the Pacific Area involved around these lonely voyages. They supplied the central theme of Philippine history; they were the original motive for the exploration and settlement of California; they brought the Chinese and Japanese to the Philippines.

Download or read book The Manila Acapulco Galleons the Treasure Ships of the Pacific written by Shirley Fish and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-05-18 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the transpacific treasure galleons sailed annually from Manila to Acapulco. In Manila, the vessel was loaded with the scented spices of the East, luxurious silks from China, exquisite hand crafted lacquerware from Japan and a multitude of Oriental goods that the Spaniards of New Spain longed to own. The returning galleon from Acapulco to Manila, carried as much as 2.5 million silver pesos in payment of the goods sent to the New Spain in the previous year, as well as a yearly silver subsidy of 250,000 reales for the maintenance of the colonial government in the Philippines. But while the galleons mainly sailed alone and unaccompanied from Manila to Acapulco and vice versa, they were vulnerable to a host of calamities and misfortunes. A fire on board the vessel or a terrifying storm could end the voyage and the lives of every one on the ship even before the galleon was able to reach land. Additionally, the commanders of the galleons were always threatened by lurking pirates and privateers who preyed on the vessels and coveted the treasures they carried. The book describes in detail how the galleons were attacked at sea and how they fought against enemy vessels, as well as how many of the ships sank or were shipwrecked over the years. It also covers their management, construction, manning, weaponry, navigation, daily life on the ship, provisions, cargoes and voyages. The book contains an annotated list of the galleons sailing between the Philippines and Mexico from 1565 to 1815. This informative book is the first of its kind to cover such an expansive history of the Pacific galleons which up to this point had remained largely untold.
