Shortly after the conquest of Mexico, Cortes ordered the construction of a shipyard in Tehuantepec (Oaxaca), on the Pacific coast, known as El Carbón. This article examines a document dated to 1535 which provides the principal dimensions, tonnages, and construction characteristics of three navíos (ships) designed and built in this shipyard for Pacific Ocean navigation. The ships’ dimensions are given in Portuguese goas and palmos instead of Spanish codos, and the tonnages indicated in Spanish botas and pipas from Seville. The term navío appears to designate a specific ship type rather than being a generic word to refer ships.

墨西哥 16 世纪早期的造船业：为太平洋航行而设计的船只的尺寸和吨位

征服墨西哥后不久，科尔特斯下令在太平洋沿岸的特万特佩克（瓦哈卡州）建造一个造船厂，称为 El Carbón。本文检查了一份日期为 1535 年的文件，该文件提供了在该造船厂为太平洋航行而设计和建造的三艘 navíos（船舶）的主要尺寸、吨位和建造特征。船只的尺寸以葡萄牙语 goas 和 palmos 而不是西班牙 codos 给出，吨位以来自塞维利亚的西班牙语 botas 和 pipas 表示。术语 navío 似乎是指一种特定的船舶类型，而不是指代船舶的通用词。
