For a full list see Innocencio da Silva, Dicc. Bibliog. i. 377, and Grundriss, p. 339. Five volumes were announced by Barbosa Machado as ready for press. The modern editors, besides eleven wrecks of the sixteenth, eight of the seventeenth, and two of the eighteenth, have included three of the nineteenth century. Some of the original chap-books survive, with a fine woodcut of a tossing galleon on the title-page: Historia da mui notavel perda do galeam grande S. Joam (1554?); Relaçam do lastimozo navfragio da nao Conceiçam chamada Algaravia a Nova (1555); Naufragio da nao Santo Alberto (1597); Memoravel relaçam da perda da nao Conceiçam (1627). The Relaçam da viagem do galeão São Lovrenço e sua perdição (1651) is by the Jesuit Antonio Francisco Cardim (1596-1659); the Relaçam sumaria da viagem que fez Fernão d’Alvarez Cabral, by Manuel Mesquita Perestrello, is an account of the wreck of the fine ship S. Bento, which had taken Camões to India.
