and 1794 along the Pacific Coast of the Americas under the command of
Captain Alexandro Malaspina which was undertaken "por la beneficia de
la Nav[egació]n y Comercio". Torres y Guerra conducted the survey
of the Galapagos Islands on the return voyage from Nootka Sound (North
Pacific coast of North America) to Callao. This survey was the second
official Spanish expedition to the Galapagos Islands, and during it
Torres y Guerra replaced the former British names of the islands with
Spanish designations. This map, displaying only observed coastline and
with unobserved landmass left blank, appears to be the copy made aboard
ship during the expedition. A later 1794 version signed by Tomás
de la Cruz Doblado and housed in the Depósito Hidrográfico
(Madrid) contains additional named islands. The earlier 1793 version
is part of the G&M Division's collection from the Real Escuela de
Navegación, Cadiz, Spain purchased from Maggs Brothers, London.
