Garcia Jofre de Loaísa
Spanish explorer
Years: 1490 - 1526
Garcia Jofre de Loaísa (1490 – July 20, 1526) is ordered by Charles I of Spain to seek the vanished Trinidad, or news of her fate, by voyaging along her expected return route to Spain.
Failing this he is to locate and colonize Magellan's Spice Islands, and also to bring back news of the semi-mythical land of Ophir which Spanish scholars believe may be somewhere near China.
