Abstract: In the aftermath of the shipwreck, Spanish authorities in Manila describe plans to strengthen fleets and prevent future disasters. They discuss shipbuilding, provisioning, and fortifications. The report stresses vigilance along Pacific routes, with Micronesian islands—especially the Caroline Islands—considered critical to the empire’s maritime strategy.
