The Lequian Survivors: A Shipwreck That Rewrites Southeast Asian History. Return of Lequios 4
In 1610, Spanish pilot Juan Bernardo de Fuentidueñas survived a wreck near Macao — but what he discovered next would shake centuries of historical assumptions.
On a remote reef, he encountered three indigenous survivors. His chronicle described them not as Japanese, Ryukyuan, or Chinese... but as Lequian Indians.
For over 400 years, historians have believed Lequios = Ryukyu. But what if we’ve been wrong?
Drawing from firsthand accounts preserved in The Philippine Islands, 1493–1898 (Blair & Robertson, Vol. XVI), this documentary uncovers stunning new evidence that Lequios was not in Japan — but right here in Northern Luzon, Philippines.
🌊 Who were the Lequians?
📜 What did Spanish navigators really mean by Lequios?
🧭 And why has this account been ignored for so long?
This is The Smoking Quill’s deep dive into the forgotten corners of colonial history.
