El ALMIRANTE

Post by aukepalmhof » Thu Jun 08, 2017 9:38 pm

In 1976 the Philippines issued two stamps which shows us a Spanish Manila galleon and a image of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_ ... ood_Voyage which arrived from Mexico on board the Spanish galleon El ALMIRANTE in 1626.

I could not find an El ALMIRANTE in the Spanish galleons sailing between Mexico and Manila, but at that time the Almirante was mostly the flagship of the fleet.
The galleons sailing between Acapulco, Mexico and Manila in 1626 were https://sites.google.com/site/manilagal ... rough-1650
25 March 1626 four ships sailed from Acapulco which are given on that website as probably SAN IGNACIO, SAN JACINTO and possibly the SAN RAYMUNDO and the SAN LUIS, with on board the New Governor of the Philippines Don Juan Nino de Tabora which took with him the statue of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Which ship the Governor carried is not given.
27 June 1626 the ships arrived at Manila. I do not have more info on the ships.

Philippines 1976 30/90s sg?, scott1303/04.
