✓ VERIFIED vs scan n227 (2026-07-06): '1782 El Pardo Febrero 22 — Real Orden sobre navegación'; the *San José* off Punta de Año Nuevo 11 Oct 1779, skipped Monterey → Cabo San Lúcas → Acapulco 'en contravención de repetidas Reales órdenes'; galleons 'tengan precisamᵗᵉ [escala] en el Puerto de Monterey, obligándose á ello ántes de salir de Cavite, bajo la pena de cuatro mil pesos' — all confirmed. Real Orden sobre navegación — the Philippine frigate *San José* (Capt. José de Campa[?]), sighted off Punta de Año Nuevo 11 Oct 1779 and signalled up the coast toward Monterey, refused to put in and continued to Cabo San Lúcas → Acapulco, 'en contravención de repetidas Reales órdenes'; the King disapproves the commander's conduct, orders him charged, and — citing cédulas 'desde el principio del siglo pasado' — reiterates that the annual Manila Galleons must call at the Port of Monterey, obliging themselves before sailing from Cavite, under a 4,000-peso penalty (waived only for proven contrary winds/impossibility) → E4
