Abstract

The Santiago was a galleon of the Armada de la Guarda de las Indias that travelled in convoy with the Tierra Firme fleet in 1658 and was lost in Chinchorro Bank, Mexico, during her returning voyage to Spain. The study of her last repairs carried out in Cartagena de Indias brings the opportunity to understand the infrastructure of the port and its capabilities to face one of the main problems of the Carrera de Indias: the harsh conditions of the transatlantic voyage and the structural deficiencies of some of the Armada ships to accomplish their objectives of defence. Based on historical sources in Spanish and Mexican archives, the authors reconstruct the Santiago’s final repairs in that port, the resources available, and the level of reliance on local society to obtain the materials and labour force needed. This research will help to advance the archaeological identification of her remains among the shipwrecks registered in Chinchorro.

十七世纪中叶印度卡塔赫纳的海军舰船维修:圣地亚哥号及其在加勒比海的损失
圣地亚哥号是印度护卫舰队的一艘大帆船,1658 年与 Tierra Firme 船队同行,在返回西班牙的途中在墨西哥的 Chinchorro Bank 失事。通过对其在卡塔赫纳德印第亚斯进行的最后一次维修的研究,我们有机会了解该港口的基础设施及其应对卡雷拉德印第亚斯号的主要问题之一的能力:跨大西洋航行的恶劣条件以及一些无敌舰队船只在实现其防御目标方面的结构缺陷。根据西班牙和墨西哥档案中的历史资料,作者重建了圣地亚哥号在该港口的最后维修工作、可利用的资源以及为获得所需材料和劳动力而对当地社会的依赖程度。这项研究将有助于推进在钦乔罗登记的沉船中对圣地亚哥号遗骸的考古鉴定。
