Abstract
Capitán de Navío Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra was the pre-eminent Spanish naval officer in the period 1774 to 1794 on the Pacific coast of North America.Today, the services that Bodega y Quadra rendered are honoured in his native Peru as well as in Mexico, Spain, and Canada.The name Quadra adorns an island and a thoroughfare in Victoria, British Columbia.In California, his name lives on in Bodega Bay, where he stopped in 1775 at the end of his first perilous voyage into northern waters.The Spanish surnames that dot the natural features and waterways of the Pacific coast, such as Valdes, Haro, Malaspina, Galiano, and Quadra, recall the voyagers who substantially advanced, each in his own way, knowledge of the geography, ethnography, and natural history of this rugged and mistshrouded region.Collectively, these Spanish explorers were a diverse and uniquely skilled assembly of talents and abilities.Unlike most of the Russian, British, French, and American voyagers in the region at this time, they were not interested in trade.All were career naval officers; many would later rise to senior positions; five would achieve flag rank; and two are buried in Spain's Pantheon of Illustrious Mariners at Cádiz.Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra Mollinedo stands foremost among this accomplished group.Bodega y Quadra was a success as a maritime explorer.He reached 58ºN on the Pacific Northwest Coast in 1775 while commanding a twenty-fourfoot schooner, and he was the first to chart the coast as far north as Prince William Sound.In 1779 he returned to explore and chart the entrance to Prince William Sound, Alaska.Twice he was commandant of the Naval Department of San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico, during its busiest period.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
