This map of the Galapagos Islands includes coastlines, the navigational track, and sightings by the crew of the frigate, Santa Gertrudiz, under the command of naval captain, Alonso de Torres y Guerra, between March 18 and 21, 1793. The purpose of the expedition as given in a note on the map was to assess the potential economic and strategic value of the islands. This particular survey of the Galapagos Islands was part of a larger, complex scientific expedition made between 1789 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.

In style, clear and precise. The map was prepared during the initial attempts at settlement of the islands. From the 1760's, the English, Spanish, and French made efforts to colonize these South Atlantic islands off the coast of South America. For many years, these islands had been frequented by fishing vessels attracted by the seal and whale populations found in abundance. In 1767, Spain placed the islands under the control of the Captain General at Buenos Aires. While Spain recognized English claims to the islands in 1771, a year after they had expelled the English, the English voluntarily left the islands in 1774.
