Arturo,

thanks for checking into this. What you say makes sense. I've also read
that the early Spanish sailings were not monitored very closely. That is
what gave birth to the "Sala de Contratación" as well as a series of laws.
As you say, there were illegal sailings, and I wonder if slave trafficking
was illegal? I know that Spain did not do much (or any?) of that. I have
read that the Carlo Lomellini (or Carlos Lomelín) was a slave trafficker.
That may be the reason why Rose and I are having trouble finding anything on
him.

Maria
