In 1625, Martin de Arana built six Atlantic warships for the Spanish crown. The author traces the ships from their construction through a decade of service, incorporating a history of Spain's Golden Age. This book was awarded the Spain and America in Quincentennial Year of Discovery prize.

Industry Reviews

""Handsomely produced and illustrated... The six galleons built for the king by Martin de Arana in the royal shipyards at Zorozza in the Bilbao estuary were the products of a long and distinguished tradition of Spanish shipbuilding, well summarized by Phillips.""
