The present thesis Shipwrecks of the “Carreira da Índia” (1595-1623) – Sources
for the Study in Portuguese Maritime History deals with factors which caused losses of
ships of the Carreira da Índia which linked the European metropolis Lisbon with its
Goa based Estado da Índia between 1595 and 1623. Although Portuguese-Asiatic
shipping was formally separated from the Habsburg Empire during the Union of the
Two Iberian Crowns (1580-1640), the European policies of the Spanish Kings,
especially towards the United Provinces and the Netherlands had its influence and
effects on the Portuguese side.
Shipwrecks, either on the outward bound or homeward bound voyages had
occurred for various reasons since the early days of the Carreira da Índia yet the
emergence of the two private European Companies, the Dutch United East India
Company (founded in 1602) and the British East India Company (founded in 1600)
were a new momentum by which’s characteristics of concurrence and struggle for
supremacy of the European-Asiatic spice trade, losses of Portuguese ships were caused
by planned and executed military operations as well.
Focusing on the geographical region of the Mozambique Channel in which the
losses have taken place, the thesis combines a historiographical approach with records
of underwater archaeology analyzing questions related to the political environment and
planed military operations in which shipwrecks have occurred as well as causes of
shipwrecks observing ship building and design modifications and effects related to
economic patterns such as the monetary flows of the Portuguese outward bound
shipping during the period of observation.

This article examines the socio-economic relations between two distinct trade
partners over a time span of a hundred years: the Kingdom of Portugal on
the one hand and the Hanseatic League on the other hand. By reconsidering
the legal conditions of long distance trade at the end of the Late Middle
Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance Period, the study also aims to
define the Hanseatic League as one of Portugal’s trade partners by looking
at its characteristics along with two of the most important commodities of
exchange: salt and timber.
Keywords
Portugal, Hanseatic League, privileges, salt trade, timber trade, 15th to 16th
centuries.

The Power of Cities The Iberian Peninsula from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period, 2019
Lisbon, Cádiz and Seville are the three most prominent Atlantic port cities of
the Iberian Penin... more Lisbon, Cádiz and Seville are the three most prominent Atlantic port cities of
the Iberian Peninsula, dating back to ancient times. Olisippo and Gadir/Gades
had been major Phoenician port cities, which were later taken over by the ex-
panding Roman Empire. These cities were among the few Atlantic outposts of
ancient Mediterranean shipping, which only meagerly extended further south
along the African coast or north along the European coast. Hispalis, too, had
a Phoenician background and was also taken by Rome during the Punic Wars.
Although the Christian Reconquista had begun to gather momentum in
the 12th century with the capture of Lisbon (1147), it was the conquest of the
southern strongholds of Seville (1248) and Tarifa (1298) that made shipping
through the Straits of Gibraltar more secure. As a direct result, European ship-
ping began to connect the Mediterranean with the North Sea regions, benefit-
ing the coastal port cities of southern and western Iberia. By the 14th century,
the volume of bulk commodities being moved between these regions via mari-
time routes was probably 40 times larger than the volume transported on the
long-established transalpine land routes.1 Portugal’s coastal areas—hitherto
the poor and unsafe western periphery of Christian Europe—became a hub
for maritime trade. Portuguese shipping established the role of connecting the
Mediterranean with Northern European areas, aligned with the role played by
Dutch shipping in commerce between Western Europe and the North Sea and
Baltic region. Competing claims of the Iberian powers on newly discovered
lands and seas were settled with the Treaties of Alcáçovas (1479, allocating
Africa and the Atlantic south of Cabo Bojador to Portugal), Tordesillas (1494, of Lisbon, Seville allocating the Americas, even though hardly discovered, to Spain), and Zara-
goza (1529, allocating most of the Asian waters and lands to Portugal).2 All
other European sea powers were excluded from these vast spaces. This became
the underlying cause of military conflicts between the Catholic Iberian pow-
ers and northern (and increasingly Protestant) seafaring nations. Regardless of
clashes, Lisbon, Seville, and Cádiz, in particular, became Europe’s first major
ports to the New Worlds.

The socio-economic relations of the Atlantic economies per sé and the entanglement of Central Europe within these commercial structures during the early modern period have been subject to quite an extensive historiographical production of macro and micro perspectives.
However, most of the studies are rather situated within a ‘national’ English, French, Portuguese or Spanish framework than being of a comparative nature.
This paper will analise the socio-economic relations between the French and Portuguese Atlantic and Hamburg, the latter being one of the major hubs for the Central European hinterland regions during the last decades of the 18th century. Based on statistical data from the French Chambre du Commerce and the Portuguese Junta do Comércio on the one hand and the Hamburg Admiralty Customs Records (Admiralitätszoll), this paper will demonstrate the historical development of the French and Portuguese sugar and coffee trade with Central Europe, one of the major consumer markets for colonial produce at that time.

I would kindly like to ask you if you have knowledge about any published statistical data of the textile exports of the Companhia Geral do Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba like the books of António Carreira about the Companhia Geral do Comércio de Grão-Pará e Maranhão.
Thank you very much
Torsten
in this session, I´d like to discuss with you the differences between the Portuguese Casa da Índia and the Spanish Casa da Contratación. What were the similarities or differences regarding the administration, privileges and operating modes? What changed during the course of the 16th to the 18th centuries?
Is there any recent comparative study already published? Is there any “History of Institutions” approach existing? What literature should be read?
With best regards
Torsten
