"The transpacific route between the Philippines and New Spain began on January 1st, 1565, when Friar Andrés de Urdaneta sailed from Manila on the galleon San Pedro in search of the route of return to Acapulco. They sailed the internal waters of the archipelago, heading for the San Bernardino Strait towards the Pacific. They took advantage of the Kuro Shivo Current, bordered California coast. Finally, they arrived at the port of Acapulco on October 8th, 1565. With this voyage a permanent transpacific route was established for two hundred and fifty years, from 1565 to 1815, which assumed the hegemony of the Pacific Ocean as a commercial space, turning the ports of Cavite and Acapulco into preferential enclaves of the oriental goods of Southeast Asia. We will analyze this transpacific route through chronicles of religious, merchants and adventurers, focusing on daily aspects that allow us to figure out a visual imaginary of the Manila Galleon, its route, goods and ports." |
