- Title
La carrera olvidada de las Islas Marianas (1680-1730). La mayor tesadura en el Imperio.

- Abstract
The Ladrones Islands were named by Magellan, but their colonization had to wait until 1668, when the Jesuits re-named them the Marianas. The fact is that despite their proximity to the Philippines, the relationship between these two archipelagos was difficult. The inauguration of a new maritime route between Cavite and Guam was soon revealed to be a graveyard for ships sent to unite those two worlds. Ultimately, and for reasons both geographical and human, journeys by the patache of the Marianas became increasingly infrequent during the 18th century, until interest in this route was rekindled in the 19th century. The study of these 50 dramatic years is based on rich archives of arrivals and in particular on pilots' logs.
