De la explosión masiva a la mala reparación: causas del hundimiento del galeón San José

Antonio Jaramillo Arango, 2025. Anuario de Estudios Americanos 82(1): e1157.

An ICANH historian's review of the archival record of the sinking: Archivo General de Indias files (Santa Fe 293, Indiferente 2609, 2610, 2713), Wager's journal and court-martial papers, and the London Gazette. It weighs the explosion account against a hull failure after poor repairs and favours the latter, and records about 600 dead and 14 documented survivors.
