One of three ships of Pedro Fernandes de Queiros was San Pedro y San Pablo (150 tons).
Two more “San Pedro y San Pablo” ship stamps.
Pedro Fernandes de Queirós (1565–1614) was a Portuguese navigator best known for his involvement with Spanish voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean, in particular the 1595-1596 voyage of Alvaro de Mendaña de Neira, and for leading a 1605-1606 expedition which crossed the Pacific in search of Terra Australis.
