I'm intrigued how far and wide Spanish colonial influences spread across various occupied countries and form followed, how it followed along timelines I am unsure though.

This one you have reminds me of a Corvo sub type from Chile.

Is there substantial knowledge about this type from Chile and what it was used for? It may offer insights if function follows form.

Hi Gavin,

Interesting thoughts. The Philippines had strong ties to Mexico. Several Spanish governors of the Philippines came from Mexico. I have not heard of ties to Spanish colonial interests in South America, but it is possible.

There is some interesting history at face value.
