The submarine Malaspina was one of the six boats of the Marconi class.
Under the command of Commander Mario Leoni, the submarine crossed the Strait of Gibraltar the night of September 3rd, while proceeding at the maximum speed of 16 knots, and at 3:35 AM the crew sighted in the clear and luminescent night the menacing silhouette of an enemy destroyer.
The fate of the Malaspina remained uncertain for several decades until, in March 2004, Dr. Axel Niestlè and Eric Zimmerman published a report crediting the loss of this submarine to an attack by a Sunderland.

Images made by expeditionary artists who traveled to California, at the distant edge of North America, certainly indicated that this remote land was worthy of more detailed scrutiny.
One of the earliest artists to travel to California was Jose Cardero, who sailed in 1789 with the Spanish expedition led by Captain Alessandro Malaspina (1754-1809).
The purpose of the Malaspina voyage, one of the most extensive ever planned by Spain, was to gather scientific data about the topography, flora, fauna, and native populations of different regions around the world, with special attention to the Pacific Coast of North America.
