Depends on why she wants to find out where it is, or (perhaps more importantly) who she wants to *keep* from finding out where it is. The trouble with a public expedition is that it's harder to keep the results secret.
Suppose for the sake of argument that she thinks that Skifander has the secret of how the Grey Witch killed Queen Luheia. (Maybe Steelgarter's working for Princess Urania, maybe for someone else completely.) If the public expedition returns, Albia will know where Skifander is, and will doubtless make some attempt to open communications with them. OTOH, if the expedition is destroyed by pirates, well, the world is a dangerous place.
