1. Story
2. The Castilian crown created a single office at Seville through which all shipping, passengers, cargo and bullion moving to and from the Indies had to pass. Its purpose was fiscal and regulatory rather than nautical, but it also examined and licensed pilots and maintained the master chart against which their copies were to be corrected. The administrative consequence outlasted the empire: the paperwork the monopoly required became the Archivo General de Indias.

28. Evidence
29. The documentary basis for the administered structure of the Atlantic trade: licensing, registration, taxation of bullion and the examination of pilots. V55 verification basis: NOT consulted in this session, and cited deliberately at the level of the FONDS rather than of any document, because no legajo or bundle reference could be checked and inventing one would be exactly the failure this pack is written to avoid.
