While we’ve explored the battles and politics of the Spanish Empire, Episode 226 turns its gaze to the vessels that made it all possible: the galleon. We trace the evolution from the heavy carrack to the sleek, ocean-going warship, focusing on the design innovations that allowed Spain to dominate global trade routes for over a century. Lucas and Luna examine the technical challenges of balancing firepower with cargo capacity, the role of shipwrights in Bilbao and Seville, and the catastrophic losses that still haunt maritime history. From the construction of the hull to the navigation techniques used by pilots, this episode dives into the engineering marvels that carried silver from Potosí to Madrid and spices across the Pacific. You’ll meet the key figures behind these wooden leviathans and understand why the galleon was both the backbone of Spanish power and a graveyard for sailors. This is a story of wood, canvas, gold, and human ingenuity. #SpanishGalleon #Carrack #Nao #ManilaGalleon #PotosiSilver #CasaDeContratacion #SevilleShipyards #BilbaoShipbuilders #PacificTrade #AtlanticFleet #NavalHistory #MaritimeEngineering #HabsburgSpain #16thCentury #17thCentury #GlobalEmpire #WoodenWarships #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
