Charter for Spanish East Indies trade grants Cadiz ship line
The King of Spain approves a ten year charter for a new Cadiz based company to sail to the Philippine Islands. Ships with 500 to 700 tons and 30 to 50 cannons may depart from Cadiz, with Spaniards in command, and cargoes including wines oils cloths and various goods. Tax exemptions apply, with a small duty paid in silver, and a priority on protection by the Philippine governor.
