Loaísa expedition
The Loaísa expedition was a 16th-century voyage of discovery to the Pacific Ocean, commanded by Garcia Jofre de Loaísa (1490 – 20 July 1526) and ordered by King Charles I of Spain to colonize the Spice Islands in the East Indies. After an uneventful start the expedition was scattered by bad weather near Cape Horn, leading to the ultimate loss of six of its seven ships. The remaining vessel reached its destination, but the survivors were too few to establish an effective colony and ultimately chose to return to Spain.
== Origins ==
De Loaísa's expedition was conceived both as a rescue mission and a voyage of discovery. The ''Victoria'', a vessel from Magellan's expedition to the Pacific, had returned to Spain with word that her sister ship the ''Trinidad'' had last been seen attempting to return home by sailing east from the Spice Islands to South America. De Loaísa was ordered to seek ''Trinidad'', or news of her fate, by voyaging along her expected return route to Spain.〔Kelsey 1986, p.151〕 Failing this he was to locate and colonise Magellan's Spice Islands, and also to bring back news of the semi-mythical land of Ophir which Spanish scholars believed may be somewhere near China.〔 For this purpose, de Loaísa was assigned seven vessels and total of 450 men including tradesmen and administrators for the Spice Islands settlement.〔Nowell 1936, p. 328〕
