The Iberian Colonial Repository is my own an initiative to facilitate the access to primary sources from the Iberian world to MA and PhD students. Traveling is difficult and expensive. An old source can put someone on a research journey. Please consider sharing them.

The Spanish maritime diet was somewhere in between these two. Of course, all diets tended towards disgusting similarity, regardless of nationality, when stranded at sea for weeks…
