    Excellent source. I have never seen a good Spanish source for painting ships before. Thanks for posting this.

    Thankyou for the info. I have found heretofore very poor info in any detail and the implication was made that ships from Havana followed their own rules. Again thanks.

    Ships from La Havana, follow the same rules as the ships from Spanish shipyards. For example, the red bands of the hull of the Santisima Trinidad were a misconception of the English, all the models and paintings of this ship in the Museo Naval in Madrid show it yellow, the red never was used as a general color for the hull, only gun ports and board interiors, and in some cases maroon-red for the top masts.
