Abstract: Spanish correspondence details sightings of Dutch vessels across Pacific routes. The reports stress the danger posed to the Manila–Acapulco galleons and the need for defensive measures. Strategic island groups such as the Marshall Islands and the Carolines are identified as particularly vulnerable.
