Francisco Ortiz, originally from Santoña, was appointed as shipmaster of the Fort de Nantes by the Spanish charterer, Francisco Sánchez de Madrid. His personal archive, comprising more than 500 documents, reveals many details about his personal life and his social relationships.

I am honoured to represent the project at "Transcribir América" this week and I am excited for the different talks and perspectives on loss of information through errors and misunderstandings.
This week, @neleppp.bsky.social will speak at the "Transcribir América" seminar in Rome, where she’ll be presenting the Prize Papers Project. This year’s theme «Errores, malentendidos y mala transcripción de América» could not be more fitting for the Prize Papers(1/3)

From today, we will release the documents related to the Fort de Nantes, a French ship chartered by Francisco Sánchez de Madrid, a merchant from Cádiz, to travel to Veracruz and Havana. It was captured by two ships of the British Navy on January 5 1747, on its journey back and taken to Plymouth.
