This presentation is focused on some of most forgotten and almost ignored episodes of trade relations between the Danish colonies in India with the Philippines through the first Danish East India Company 1616-1650, the second Danish Company of the East India 1670-1729 and The Asiatic Company 1732-1840. Since 1620, the Danes, with the support of “free Portuguese”, founded the enclave of Tranquebar, on the Coromandel Coast in India. Taking advantage of the neutrality of the Danish flag, they begin to act as intermediaries in the South / Southeast Asian trade and thus arrive in Manila. By the end of the 18th century, the Danish ships represented one of the most active ships in the port of Manila, mainly traded textiles from the Coromandel Coast and the Bengal Coast. In the presentation is covered, the period from 1620 to 1840 with the end of the Asiatic Company and the end of the Danish enclaves in India.
