Despite the subject’s importance, historiography has overlooked the shipbuilding industry and its supplies in the Spanish Caribbean, hence the need for this forum. It contributes to naval historiography by offering four case studies that discuss shipbuilding activities in shipyards and the supply of materials, especially the main raw material – wood.

La Isabela emerged as the first node or point of commercial connection between the ancient kingdoms of Spain and the Caribbean. This achievement was due to the meticulous spatial arrangement and planning of the settlement in the Isabeline cove, designed to facilitate interaction with both the surrounding environment and the maritime routes. Christopher Columbus achieved effective intercommunication between resource-rich areas strategically located for both maritime and river navigation. The subsidiary station of Marta, located in the Bajabonico Valley, played a crucial role as a complement to the residential centre of El Castillo, providing the basic inputs necessary for the functioning of the settlement and the shipbuilding industry. Additionally, the adjacent bay, with its arched configuration, served as a resting and recuperation place for the crew. At the opposite end, to the north-east, the shipyard was located in the La Playa area, equipped with personnel, resources and sufficient infrastructure for the construction, outfitting and repair of vessels.

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.
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。
