[3]
Álvaro de Mendaña tried to prepare a second expedition to Solomon [4]to colonize them and prevent them from serving as a refuge for pirates English who attacked the Spanish ships that traded with the Philippines . It was the viceroy of Peru, García Hurtado de Mendoza, who authorized and sponsored the expedition, contributing military personnel, while Mendaña himself convinced merchants and settlers to participate in the company. The ships left El Callao in 1595 and after discovering the Marquesas Islands, named in honor of the viceroy and marquis of Cañete, and passing through the Cook Islands and Tuvalu, they arrived at Santa Cruz Islands, south of Solomon.
The ship Santa Ysabel was lost on the island of Tinakula, however they came to found a colony, called Puerto de Santa Cruz, in the Santa Cruz Islands, in the current province of Temotu. Soon, Mendaña became ill with malaria and the settlers came into conflict with the natives. On 18 October 1595 Mendaña died on the island of Nendö and his wife, Isabel de Barreto, took over the colony. After these events, they decided to leave the islands and go to Manila. [citation needed]
After these expeditions the Spaniards lost interest in the islands, although they continued to visit them during the 17th century. There was a new colonizing attempt in 1606, led by Pedro Fernández de Quirós, who recast the Mendaña colony, but abandoned it with the intention of discovering and exploring Australia, in which he was unsuccessful. The islands were subsequently visited by British, French and Dutch. [citation needed]
