Note: "Returns" specifically means ships that reached the Indies and returned to Lisbon. This table does not include arribadas (ships that returned to Lisbon without reaching the Indies) nor ships which remained behind in the Indian Ocean. This explains the discrepancy in the totals.

  • - If returns exceed total departures minus losses, that is because some returning ships were originally built at docks in India.
