Manila galleon (western Pacific) (1565–1815 CE): For 250 years Spanish galleons sailed once or twice a year between Manila and Acapulco, exchanging Mexican silver for Chinese silk and porcelain; westbound ships called at Guam, and eastbound ships rode the westerlies across the North Pacific.
Manila (1571 CE): Miguel López de Legazpi established Spanish Manila in 1571 on the site of a Muslim polity; it became the hub of the transpacific galleon trade.
