Did Taíno natives ever work Spanish galleons?

Upvote:8

I've checked the Spanish primary sources and according to Alonso Peña Montenegro (1596-1688), Itinerario paraparochos, the Taínos were employed as carenadores (repairers of the hull), taking them in the ships.

Because he talks about those indios at the same time as other sailors, probably they weren't slaves.
