PAJUELO MORENO, VICENTE. The beginnings and organization of the Tierra Firme Fleet, 1550-1647. memorias [online]. 2022, n.48, pp.1-. Epub 09-Nov-2023. ISSN 1794-8886. https://doi.org/10.14482/memor.48.428.559.
The Tierra Firme Fleet was one of the main naval systems of the Carrera de Indias. After several previous trials, it was finally established in 1550 and its structure remained unchanged until 1647. From the study of practically its first hundred years of life (1550-1647), this article examines the organization of the Tierra Firme Fleet, its means of financing, the ships that made it up, the crew that carried each ship, the artillery that mounted its vessels, the route it used to cross the Atlantic and the cargoes that were kept in the ship's holds.
