It is the year 1606 Pasajero de Indias documdent for "Joan De Angon" on the very top of first page there is a line which has the name of the ship he traveled on which says:
"En La Noa............"
I can make out the other words which is the name of the ship. "Noa" is the class of ship. so that is how I know right away it is talking about the name of the ship he traveled on.
Here is a copy of first page:

I have another way to find the name of the ship where Joan De Angon traveled on.
You can do a search for "Lista De Pasajeros" and add the year 1606 in the Pars website.
When you do a search for "Lista De Pasajeros" in Pars. It gives you a number of documents that contains names of ships and lists of names of people that was on board each ship.
Can someone help deciper this
I asked for help from a historian of Zacatecas and he thinks it reads "La Noa Margarita" which would be the "Santa Margarita" which sank in 1622 along with the Atocha.
I was trying to read the whole document again to see if it makes any more references as to the name of the Noa or galeon on other pages and when I to got to image 20, I ran across an interesting wording where a historian told me it reads "de Moros Judios"

On Image 31 it says something about "Testigos" A historian of Zacatecas told me that:
"Moros judios. Cuando venian de España tenian que llevar testigos para confirmar que que eran cristianos viejos, etc. Por lo regular llevaban 3 testigos"
