Answer:

Spanish

Step-by-step explanation:

In sailing north to the coast of America, the expedition was sailing towards seas which were already being explored by other European nations. The Spanish claimed ownership of the west coast and, to buttress their claim, had sent an expedition to the North Pacific in 1774. Glad I could help!
