Thanks to the insurance contracts of Mallorca’s maritime trade, it is possible to offer statistical tables of Mallorcan exports, as well as to study the differentiated value of each type of product.
By examining the insurances of the notary Miquel Boix, a total of 1,008 insurance contracts between 1451 and 1464 can be clarified, most of them centred on 1457 and the two final years, 1463 and 1464. With regard to the origin of the goods, 613 of them had Mallorca as their point of departure and 196 had Mallorca as their destination, with the rest being distributed nationally between Menorca and Ibiza. All in all, the total of the 1,008 contracts amount to 68,391.1 pounds, of which almost 300 contracts belong to the fabric trade. The rest of the goods in terms of their proportion are oil, leather, ship’s hulls, wax and wool.
