Although it is slightly earlier than the 16th century, perhaps this  
article in the TRAVEL section of the Florilegium might be of use:
Seakeeping-p1-art (84K)  8/20/98    "Seakeeping", by Dom. Pedro de  
Alcazar.
                                        English naval power,  
1450-1480. (1 of 2)
Seakeeping-p2-art (99K)  8/20/98    "Seakeeping" (part 2 of 2)
