Iconography:
CMAC is working on the iconography of the ships of the European expansion of the
16th Century.
Iberian Ships:
One of the ShipLAB main interests is the study of Iberian Shipbuilding
in the period of the European expansion.
Although most shipwrecks have been destroyed by treasure hunters
and all the information they contained has been destroyed forever, recent studies combining archaeology and documental
evidence have significantly advanced our understanding of these formidable machines.
