Pay and allowances of the complement of a typical Portuguese East Indiaman, c. 1600 -- Provisions of an outward-bound Portuguese East Indiaman, c. 1600 -- Allotment of deck and cargo space in a homeward-bound Portuguese East Indiaman, c. 1600 -- Allowance of liberty-chests on board a Portuguese East Indiaman, c. 1620.
