Obviously "English channel" centric.

You can draw more ships just taking the Spanish and Portuguese routes 200 years before saved for instance in the "Archivo general de Indias" in Seville.




I was kind of wondering how the "age of sail" got its goal posts moved to 1750, doing away with the first endeavours to get to the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, North and South America, India and China out of the data set reframes it has "1750 to 1855 in heavy boating". Either way, through the youtube channel it really is instructive to look at all the british corsairs almost randomly sailing for loot in the furthest of places.
