111116, the manila-acalpuco galleon trade, a centuries long sea route

it's detailed in the book i mentioned above and was one of the longest of its kind. it resulted in a crazy intercontinental cultural cross-pollination between the americas and the philippines between like the 1500s-1800s. the book shows how it's effects are still very much around in both regions.
there's also arabic and hindi in there among others.
