In contrast to Cook’s and La Pérouse’s explorations, the expedition undertaken by Alejandro Malaspina (1789–1794) has been described as an “imperial inspection”1 on account of its thorough inspection of the Spanish overseas territories. This included reports on their political and economic conditions, recommendations on how to improve their situation, and access to files, maps, and local informants, in addition to Malaspina’s position as commander “explorer-inspector.”
