The Treaty of Utrecht ending the War …
Years: 1713 - 1713
March
The Treaty of Utrecht ending the War of the Spanish Succession grants Britain an Asiento lasting thirty years to supply the Spanish colonies with forty-eight hundred slaves per year.
Britain is permitted to open offices in Buenos Aires, Caracas, Cartagena, Havana, Panama, Portobello and Vera Cruz to arrange the slave trade.
One ship of no more than five hundred tons can be sent to one of these places each year (the Navío de Permiso) with general trade goods but one quarter of the profits are to be reserved for the King of Spain.
There is provision for two extra sailings at the start of the contract.
The Asiento is granted in the name of Queen Anne and then contracted to the East India Company.
