The shipping line between Lisbon and Goa [‘Carreira da Índia’] according Joane Mendes de Vasconcelos
Abstract
The shipbuilding and organizational shortcomings in the forword and return trips between Lisbon an Goa pointed out by Vasconcelos in 1616 are attested in the accounts of both voyages made by don García de Silva y Figueroa in 1614 and fray Redento da Cruz in 1617, as well as in the report of the attack on the nau São Julião under the command of Manuel de Meneses by an English fleet in 1616. The report sent to Philip IV by Fernando de Toledo in 1626 shows that these shortcomings remained unfixed.
