The wrecks of the Manila galleons are legends second only to the wrecks of treasure ships in the Caribbean. In 1568, Miguel López de Legazpi's own ship, the "San Pablo" (300 tons), was the first Manila galleon to be wrecked en route to Mexico. Between the years 1576 when the "Espiritu Santo" was lost and 1798 when the "San Cristobal (2)" was lost there were twenty Manila galleons wrecked within the Philippine archipelago. In 1596 the "San Felipe" was wrecked in Japan. The cargo was seized by the Japanese authorities and the behavior of the crew prompted persecution against the Christians.
